@exitthelemming Bullshit - here in New Zealand when we were initially in heavy lockdown battling covid the road toll went down by MORE than the number of people who died from covid - we saved MORE lives Also because of lockdown this NZ winter 500 fewer people have died from influenza.

@FedFarmers You'll pay GST - but most farmers will write that GST off their GST return, then they'll depreciate over the next few years further reducing their taxes. You know who's paying for that farmer's ute? about 50% is being paid for by other tax payers, but he's using it for shopping
