From National MP--CHRIS BISHOP----'Twas the night before taxes'

Brian from Mount Roskill

’Twas the night before taxes, and all through the nation,
Hard-working Kiwis were still feeling Labour’s inflation.

While their payslips were hidden with care,
They prayed Hipkins and Chloë wouldn’t take their ‘fair’ share.

When out by the Beehive there rose such a shout,
The Greens’ TikTok was not getting enough clout.

“We need more taxes!” Chloë said with a flair,
“For justice! For progress! For… I’ll think of the rest later, I swear.”

Hipkins quickly agreed, as Chloë and the Greens held the key,
He knew he couldn’t win without their guarantee.

But before he could breathe, Te Pāti Māori came with a glare,
Holding a wishlist of taxes that reached mid-air.

And so the trio assembled, a most troublesome sight,
Ready to dream up new taxes till the early midnight.

But no need to worry, National set things right,
We delivered tax relief that finally eased the bite.

And with new roads, schools, and hospitals underway,
Our infrastructure is getting stronger everyday.

Fixing the basics and building the future, as we’ve said,
So every Kiwi family can finally get ahead.
