The simple case for Universalism.
Yeah. Why don't we means test education, super, health, sickness benefit, the military, disaster help, police.....? Everything in fact? But we don't. For the simple reason that if the wealthy are paying their fair share of tax, they are just as entitled to tax funded…

National panics with Kiwisaver announcement as polling crashes
I was more than a bit surprised at National's Kiwisaver announcement on the weekend which was not too bad. After all National has historically thought that Kiwisaver was a very bad thing and has sought to undermine it every chance they can. For them to…
