@joillian Green has some interesting policy.
I recommend going through the questions at https://votecompass.tvnz.co.nz/nz2023 to get a feel for what party mostly aligns with your values.
Then also check out https://policy.nz/2023/party-vote/policies/community-and-inclusion to get a better understanding of specific policies across the parties.

@saurab Votecompass was terrible!! It told me Act. Now ACt is one of the last parties I'd ever vote for!
As to finances, it isn't all about how much in your pay packet, it's also what funding various services get, health, education and so on.
That too affects your finances - sooner or later -and should also be taken into consideration.
What benefits the people, not you personally.

@marilines Haha, are you sure that you’re not just shocked with your own values? Maybe you need to accept that you’re hard core ACT now 
@marilines Big on that second point. I don’t really care about an extra $10 a week from some tax break when everything else goes up

@truthbetold Figures like this are a bit useless though as an attack piece. If you’re working full time and earning less than $45k a year, you’re on less than minimum wage. Which in effect means for the figures you’ve quoted to be legal, you’re likely working less than full time, for not much at all, or both, in which case a tax cut isn’t likely to give you much no matter how big it is.

@christian_commenter_1234 If you’re working full time on minimum wage, you’ll get about $10 a week. If you’re around $70k or more, you’ll get $20. Is it worth it?
