Vote buying

"National will not load ratepayers up with more red tape and higher stealth taxes. We will cut compliance costs, simplify home building processes and reform the RMA to ensure home affordability becomes a reality for ordinary Kiwis."

Pity such a statement is only vote-garnering rhetoric, which I know would never be fully implemented.

I fully agree with

• No more red tape
• No higher stealth taxes
  
• Cut compliance costs
• Simplify building processes
• Reform the RMA

Notice that you have said anything about removing current stealth taxes or red tape.

We will hold you to those ideals, though. God help you if get the reins, but do not deliver.
