Brand New Never used sell $195. Still in the box.
I got the wrong size for my Nephew.
My loss your gain. Good all around boot cost me $300.

The Apache is a mid cut, waterproof boot, with a hyper Grip textured outsole. The HyperGrip rubber composite provides excellent traction on both wet and dry surfaces, meaning you're less likely to slip and scare the deer. The well'built and secure sole will be light and sturdy as you stalk through the bush.

With waterproof treated leather, combined with the Thinsulate inside: your feet will stay warm and dry all weekend.

Mid-cut Boot
Waterproof Treated Leather
Hyper Grip Textured Out-sole

Quote: “A couple, without children, earning üp to $120k PA” (ie $119,999 PA jointly or $60k each) would get an extra $100 per fortnight”.

It's actually only $60.76 /fn !! That's a $1020 pa “HOLE”. (Here's the maths.)
Existing Thresholds
First $14,000 @ 10.5% =$1470
Then $34,000 (to $48,000) @ 17.5% =$5950
Then $12,000 (to $60,000) @ 30% = $3600
Total Tax paid each =$11,020
National's, proposal
First $15,600 @ 10.5% =$1638
Then $37,900 (to $53,500) @ 17.5% = $6632
Then $6500 (to $60,000) @ 30% = $1950
Total Tax paid each =$10,220
ACTUAL SAVINGS =$800PA (each $30.76/fortnight) or $61.53/fn for a couple - NOT $100


“A superannuant couple ($22,869ea X 2) up to $26 boost “ It's ACTUALLY only $8.61 /fn !! That's a $452 pa “HOLE” !
Existing Thresholds
First $14,000 @ 10.5% =$1470
Then $8869 @ 17.5% =$1552
Total Tax paid each =$3022

National's, proposal
First $15,600 @ 10.5% =$1638
Then $7269 @ 17.5% = $1272
Total Tax paid each =$2910
ACTUAL SAVINGS =$112 PA (each $4.30/fortnight) or $8.61/fn for a couple. NOT $26.

When you think about the cuts (austerity) that will be needed. It's actually pretty underwhelming and insulting.

The Southerner passenger train will be resurrected if The Opportunities Party (TOP) wins a seat at the general election, its leader says.

TOP’s transport policy, released on Wednesday, pledges support for a five year trial of The Southerner, the passenger rail service between Christchurch and Invercargill which ended in 2002.

TOP leader and Ilam candidate Raf Manji said the trial would operate between Christchurch and Dunedin, stopping in towns like Timaru and Ashburton along the way.

Depending on demand, it could operate five to seven days a week and do two or three return journeys a day. TOP has estimated the cost at $100 million, based on the costings of the Hamilton to Auckland train service, Te Huia.
