The National Party has admitted that only 3000 households will get the full $250 a fortnight tax cut they've been campaigning on, but rejects Labour's claims they have scammed New Zealanders. @radionz . Full interview with National's Nicola Willis on Midday Report.

Pre lockdown I went through a panic where I didn’t buy loo paper or flour but started stashing cash in my room incase the banks collapsed and the world ended. The delirium passed and I forgot about it. Anyway I just found it and confirm my insanity was an excellent savings plan.
