The Gov't would also cease to subsidise businesses, because doing so creates perverse incentives and massive market distortions. Let business subsidise itself. Also - discourage startups & foreign investment. They are both ways to launder NZ expertise, tax, and capital for the benefit of overseas shareholders. Encourage local investment. Drop out of restrictive "Free Trade Agreements" like #CPTPPA that prioritise foreign corporate interests. 4/n
