Dear Friend,

According to the latest polls, next year’s election is on a knife edge.

But Labour has a plan to win.

At today’s Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update, Grant Robertson just announced the Government will run up borrowing with a $900 million deficit as part of an election-year spend-up.

In short, the Government's plan is to tax you more, spend more, and borrow more, leaving you with the debt.

Grant Robertson already has a record-high tax take. There is no excuse for pushing taxpayers deeper into debt.

Will you fight back against Labour’s bribes with an election fund for taxpayers?

Meanwhile, National believes it can win by focusing its campaign on law and order.

That means there is a serious risk that taxpayer concerns will be lost amidst the election year tug-of-war. That would be a disaster.

This is why a strong Taxpayers’ Union is needed to push Lower Taxes, Less Waste, More Transparency into the centre of the election year debate.

I’m asking for your financial support as we set the budget for 2020.

Last election, we plastered the cost of each party’s election bribes across national newspapers.

And we were the ones who called out Metiria Turei’s benefit fraud by leading the calls for her to pay the money back.

Signing up to a modest monthly donation allows us to plan ahead and expose those politicians who waste your money for the sake of their election victory.

Thank you for your support.
