National MP David Bennett has come up with a radical new proposal to address Government debt. He wants a lover tax to be imposed.
And I thought that National was the party of no new taxes.
I wonder if he has canvassed the proposal with his caucus colleagues because if half of the rumours are true there could be more than slight interest in the proposal.
And I am sure the international jurisdiction issues will not be easy to resolve.
On a serious note is no one checking their advertisements? Usually you would expect these ads to be checked by head office to see how the party vote spend limitation was affected. Do these guys really think they are up to running the country?
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
Look carefully at the photo in the OP. Read and enjoy 😀
I was wondering if it was a Freudian slip, whoops.
Greens = tax is love
Nats = lovers tax
Supporting a harem could become damned expensive.
Might put prostitutes out of business though!
Maybe that's the intent – the evangelical right striking hard?
This is the David Bennett who is on Audrey Young's guess list of a Collins caucus.
Remember the dork? "Coronavirus: National MP criticised for encouraging panic buying"

I've seen him performing in Parliament a number of times and wondered how he got there. He looked thick with poor comprehension of what he was saying or doing, having to reword questions and the like.
This is a smart strategy from Bennett – he's going to stop the leakage to ACT by going after their core support demographic – the Incel voters.
I thought it was just National following on with Jude's longtime Xianity thing. I'm sure that many hard-core Xians would support such a tax.
16 billion dollars fiscal hole in the NACT budget solved with Bennetts lovers tax. This guy got promoted by Collins, part of her Strong Team.
On the subject of NACT. Should it be ACTN? After all, ACT might be the bigger party on Sunday
Oh they'll be Actn up all right.
Think of all the delicious scandals that will come to light. Who's in bed with who etc. etc. 😉
C'mon be fair, it could cure unemployment with vast opportunities for IRD wardrobe-hiders in bedrooms.
"It's a trap!"
It is a tax on those who can show true love to others.
Most National voters only truly love themselves and money.
They have worked out the one tax that will never effect a hard right-winger and only apply to those on the left, while punishing any right-winger who falters and gets some feelings.

Oh me oh my this will follow Mr Bennett around – I can see the nickname now.
But come next week what on earth are we all going to do for entertainment? The National party has been keeping us amused with a new show daily for quite some time now.
The knifeplay may be momentarily flashy.
Can't wait.
And you don't think you'd enjoy Twitter?
Never said I don’t or wouldn’t, I believe. Some Twitter threads are like a Monty Python sketch in real-time motion. I simply cannot handle another ‘distraction’ in my life, as it would come at the expense of other more important things …
True. Compelling.
Nat voter here.
Thanks for the laugh!. Have a great night. David will have to live with that for years to come.
I bear sad tidings. As things stand presently Bennett is at 12 in the National caucus. Spokescreature for agriculture. And this in a purportedly strong team. Yeah right. Gone by lunchtime man as regards freshwater regulations.

I seem to recall he is the owner of two farms and a feedlot. He finds the idea of socialism utterly abhorrent. Check out a notorious rant denouncing socialism in the Aotearoa/Zealand parliament during the currently expiring term. Growth to infinity and beyond all he knows.
"Collins has kept some loyalists close too.
David Bennett, a close friend to Collins, once brazenly told a constituent he was working on rolling Bridges. He's in the top 12 and takes up the agriculture portfolio."

It looks like Judith and David have much in common since the leader opines that the NZ Greens are Marxists.

I once heard David mansplaining that unless there was massive growth until the end of time we the people of NZ would not be able to have our iPhones and IPads. I think it was at that moment I filed him under unbelievably dumb.
Perhaps we could send him to dig the four lanes under the Kaimais and say don't come back until it's done? One job Dave.
I see it all now. This fellow, Bennet, must be a follower of Jesus, who preached love and disparaged the filthy lucre.
This is part of collins' plan to start appealing to the Christian right.
After a few hours it all makes sense. What Bennett was really on about?
He couldn't use the vernacular and I can't say it as it really is for fear of offending the sensitivities. Suffice to say:
"Lover taxes = "National are well and truly f……d."
Had they paid the printer for the pervious lot of flyers?
