KiwiFM Audio: Wallace Chapman & Selwyn Manning – Why Maxim's UMR Poll Backfired
KiwiFM Audio: Wallace Chapman and Scoop's Selwyn Manning discuss how Maxim Institute, a conservative think-tank, commissioned a survey asking New Zealanders whether they support an increase in GST, land tax, cuts in Government spending, including cuts to Working For Families, KiwiSaver, and free interest rates for student loans.
