· Bring back sweeping powers to search and arrest anyone even remotely associated with a union.
· Bring back 1951.
· Bring back 1840.

TUESDAY
Excellent response to my inspired suggestion that Inland Revenue find out where gang revenue is coming from and make sure they aren't evading taxation.
Act will make sure they pay their fair share of tax.
Right now the top 9 per cent of income earners pay 42 per cent of all income tax.
Act has no time for envy-fuelled wealth taxes or tall poppy syndrome witch hunts designed to strip Kiwis of more money.
Act knows that a strong economy needs to be built around creating conditions for prosperity, and giving people the opportunity to get ahead.
And that includes the Killer Beez, the Tribesmen, the Comancheros and other plucky players in the high-yield meth trade.
Our proposals would give a $2000 tax cut to business leaders working in organised crime.
Now that sounds fair.

Excellent response to my response to a newspaper columnist responding to my announcement that an Act-supported government will repeal the proposed Three Waters reforms and the creation of Te Aka Whai Ora, the new Māori Health Authority.
The columnist described my announcement as "straight-out racism".
There is nothing that a straight-out racist enjoys more than their views being attacked as straight-out racism.
They can see that attack for what it is – intolerance, hatred, prejudice, small-mindedness, bullying, name-calling, and racist.
FRIDAY
Oh and actually here's another item for the laundry list, which probably most of New Zealand will agree with as we head into tonight's test:
