New Zealand currently has no national cat management plan, allowing domestic and stray cats to roam and breed as they please. This can lead to the death of native species, not to mention creating nuisance for neighbours. Do you think some laws should be in place for our feline friends?

Tax cuts are inherently inflationary. Once the tax cuts are realized, National has no control over how the money is spent. As the money supply increases, that is the amount of money in circulation, inflationary pressures arise. Not only do National not have the money to fund their proposed tax cuts, any gains to the taxpayer will be quickly given back by rising inflation. And cuts to core services may mean that things like access to health care are adversely affected. Whether the tax cuts are funded in a non-inflationary way or not is irrelevant. The real inflationary pressure occurs when the money is spent. National has no control over that.
Poor old Adrienne Orr must be tearing his hair out listening to Christopher Luxon and Nicola Willis. For all their right wing think tank expertise, they appear to have a scant understanding of monetary policy. As one former Secretary to the Treasury once commented to me;
"If only politicians understood the basics of Economics 101, we would be a lot better off". These tax cuts would not make the country better off.

National has decided to undergo a major rebrand. They no longer state that poor people drink only Raro. Instead they now advise that they' re eating seaweed, in line with Christopher Luxon's description of people on low incomes as "bottom-feeders".

Great to see they're doing the healthy options.
(but will it stop them despising people who are poor, disabled, sick, unemployed etc. We doubt it...)

This assessment came from a leading political commentator.
In contrast National Party leader, Chris Luxon has no issues in this regard and is more along the lines in acting personable as a John Key or Jacinda Ardern.
I first saw Hipkins in person some 12 years ago just before a general election when he brushed past me and my Corgi, Taylor when we were fortnightly meet-the-residents visitors at the Heretaunga Retirement & Rest Home.
He was campaigning but ignored me and Taylor as if we were both not potential voters and it was an everyday thing to see a Corgi in the lounge of such a place.
Whilst Hipkins won't be mainly responsible for Labour losing quiet soundly in the 2023 elections, his awkwardness and inability to resonate with people individually is a handicap.
