• National's water tax

    From Rich80105@3:770/3 to All on Tuesday, September 19, 2017 08:56:59
    National knows there is a problem with water quality - they set up a
    working group to invetigate solutions - but have not said whether
    they will or will not imose such a tax - while asking labour for fine
    detail of their proposals.

    This is Nat-spin - see here for 10 good reasons why National should
    not be supported http://werewolf.co.nz/2017/09/ten-reasons-for-not-voting-national/

    Labour have said they will tax water, National have not said so. Therefore even a 5 year old would understand that we have the right to know the detail or at least more than has been announced of the Labour tax.
    You cannot ask for detail of something that is not planned can you?????

    National have set up a task force to recommend to them what the tax
    should be. We are entitled to know what they plan to do - "Right",

    Wrong. Until they say they are considering water tax, there are no intelligent questions to ask. On the other hand Labour have said they will tax farmers so questions are appropriate.

    This is how the spin starts. Labour is going to tax water, not farmers. Not
    all farmers use huge amounts of water.

    Some dairy farmers do not irrigate.

    Nevertheless, Labour is going to make all dairy farmers go broke in 6 months with the water tax. Now, look at that I am a liar HA!

    Wrong as usual Rich. Not Nat-spin as yo put it but what the voters need
    to know to make their decision who to vote for. Not giving fine detail
    is extremely dodgy and typical of many of your posts. Jacindas bleating
    'foul' is just the pathetic cry of your typical marxist flake again very reminiscent of your own behaviour in this ng. Have you been giving her snowflake lessons Rich?

    Now for ten reasons for not voting Labour: Jacinta, Andrew, Kelvin,
    Grant, Phil, Megan, Chris, Carmel, Dr David and David.

    btw Rich. What does invetigate and imose mean? :)

    considering many farmers are deeply in debt that could very well happen.

    Dairying takes a lot of water.
    Not so much for irrigation in the North Island but for the every day
    running of the farm.
    Cows in milk drink around 18-20 gallons a day each.
    Out of milk, calves, weaners add to the load.
    And then theres the hygiene in the shed and the yard where a lot of
    water is required to wash down the areas.
    Any increases cost is going to make dairying uneconomic with reduced
    milk to the factory, reduced spending in the local towns, less staff on
    farms as wages can't be paid.
    Then those small towns start to shut down and cut back as the money
    dries up.
    Is that what you liebor bots really want

    I doubt you are a liar, but you very dumb. All dairy farmers use massive amounts of water. Labour will tax water used by farmers ergo Labour will be taxing farmers. Can you follow that?
    It will put pressure on farmers and increase the cost of dairy produce to the consumer, any tax on farm water will hurt your pocket. Very simple.

    It will put pressure on farmers and increase the cost of dairy produce to the consumer, any tax on farm water will hurt your pocket. Very simple.

    Wrong. Until they say they are considering water tax, there are no intelligent

    questions are appropriate.

    This is how the spin starts. Labour is going to tax water, not farmers. Not >> all farmers use huge amounts of water.

    Nevertheless, Labour is going to make all dairy farmers go broke in 6 months >> with the water tax. Now, look at that I am a liar HA!


    Dairying takes a lot of water.
    Not so much for irrigation in the North Island but for the every day
    running of the farm.
    Cows in milk drink around 18-20 gallons a day each.
    Out of milk, calves, weaners add to the load.
    And then theres the hygiene in the shed and the yard where a lot of
    water is required to wash down the areas.
    Any increases cost is going to make dairying uneconomic with reduced
    milk to the factory, reduced spending in the local towns, less staff on
    farms as wages can't be paid.
    With record milk prices, now may be a good time to make a start on
    cleaning up the damage from irrigation. There are other ways of
    improving farming - different plants for food that capture nitrates,
    better fencing, but it all has to be paid for. Given that most farms
    are relatively unaffected, and the very big farms are best able to
    change practices, I expect the task force that National has set up
    will be able to come up with good recommendations on the level of
    water royalties, the users that should pay, and how to integrate such
    royalties with timing and water sources so that where no damage is
    being caused suitable adjustments can be made. The very low level of
    royalty being talked about by Labour still leaves the bulk of the cost
    on taxpayers - which in itself explains why the further tax cuts
    promised by National if they stay in government went too far.

    Then those small towns start to shut down and cut back as the money
    dries up.
    Is that what you liebor bots really want

    Of course not - and Labour is likely to put life into many of those
    regional communities that have experienced a decline over the last 9
    years.

    Milk prices have already increased - nothing to do with the royalty
    that National has set up a task group to look into, or that which
    Labour will investigate further when they take office. Do you know the
    detail of what National have asked their working group to investigate?

    Dairying takes a lot of water.
    Not so much for irrigation in the North Island but for the every day
    running of the farm.
    Cows in milk drink around 18-20 gallons a day each.
    Out of milk, calves, weaners add to the load.
    And then theres the hygiene in the shed and the yard where a lot of
    water is required to wash down the areas.
    Any increases cost is going to make dairying uneconomic with reduced
    milk to the factory, reduced spending in the local towns, less staff on
    farms as wages can't be paid.
    With record milk prices, now may be a good time to make a start on
    cleaning up the damage from irrigation. There are other ways of
    improving farming - different plants for food that capture nitrates,
    better fencing, but it all has to be paid for. Given that most farms
    are relatively unaffected, and the very big farms are best able to
    change practices, I expect the task force that National has set up
    will be able to come up with good recommendations on the level of
    water royalties, the users that should pay, and how to integrate such royalties with timing and water sources so that where no damage is
    being caused suitable adjustments can be made. The very low level of
    royalty being talked about by Labour still leaves the bulk of the cost
    on taxpayers - which in itself explains why the further tax cuts
    promised by National if they stay in government went too far.


    Damage from irrigation? What are you on about. The bitching isn't about irrigation damage. It's about the shit that gets into waterways after
    the sheds have been cleaned which is now in most areas under control.

    Different plants are being used more and more Rich. There are
    considerable funds being allocated to develop and check these. I suggest
    before you make an even bigger fool of yourself for pushing the lefts scaremongering you read the excellent report in a recent New Zealand Geographic on our rivers.

    Then those small towns start to shut down and cut back as the money
    dries up.
    Is that what you liebor bots really want

    Of course not - and Labour is likely to put life into many of those
    regional communities that have experienced a decline over the last 9
    years.


    Guess dreams are free and pots easy to avail yourself of Rich. Much of
    that decline is due to Labours mismanagement 1999-2008.

    Wrong as usual Rich. Not Nat-spin as yo put it but what the voters
    need to know to make their decision who to vote for. Not giving fine
    detail is extremely dodgy and typical of many of your posts. Jacindas
    bleating 'foul' is just the pathetic cry of your typical marxist flake
    again very reminiscent of your own behaviour in this ng. Have you been
    giving her snowflake lessons Rich?

    Now for ten reasons for not voting Labour: Jacinta, Andrew, Kelvin,
    Grant, Phil, Megan, Chris, Carmel, Dr David and David.

    btw Rich. What does invetigate and imose mean? :)

    Evidently didn't take heed of the unionised teachers when he was at school. Reading, rioting and red was all he did

    And dairy being sold on an international fluctuating market isn't all
    that conducive to our cockies having a guaranteed income.
    This reflects in the rural towns when low milk prices virtually close
    those towns.
    Rich is one of those who expounds without a basic knowledge of the subject

    If you use this logic, those that don't vote a registering their
    point. The whole point of the election, given that None Of The Above
    is not on the ballot paper, is to register your choice rather than not
    voting for a particular candidate or party.
