FFS leave GST alone Chippy

[Zurdo]

it isn't necessarily just a cost of living policy though, moreso about making healthy eating choices cheaper compared to the non-healthy choices. So from that POV it is beneficial as a means of promoting healthy eating and presumably reducing costs to society in other areas in the future...

But I agree I don't think this is game changing policy by any means...

Perhaps it was something that should've been done when GST was first introduced...it got slammed on us pretty quick while we were reeling on all the other things being done in those Labour years. A look at low income supermarket trolleys shows what is impacting our health services - they are eating mostly processed food and have lost the art of growing and cooking fresh food. As with everything, we need to look further up the cliff, all sorts of shit is ending up at the bottom.
