NZ government is giving some people small #taxcuts. People on superannuation will get $4.50 a week extra, supposedly compensation for higher health service and transport costs.

OTOH the #TobaccoIndustry will get to keep $216M they would otherwise pay in taxes from changes to tax on heated tobacco products. That's right, $216M that could have gone to health services and othe government work. #nzpol
