Three strikes and you’re out of business for life, not even septic tank emptying. Get some muscle you wankers in government. Do your job and set standards that are a little tolerant but which come down heavily on repeat offenders. Rapists repeat, harassment, also – act with determination – probably Act would agree.

When looking at net pay for lower income people remember the flat tax of 15% GST to add to the progressive tax they pay – it is quite a boost for the gummint.
And as prices go up for the buyer so the actual amount of GST paid as 15% of the price, goes up also. So that also is an inflation pusher.
