In a proper tax system, the income tax brackets would be adjusted annually, and fiscal drag would disappear.

However New Zealand governments of all colours and stripes have grown accustomed to the invisible yet steady lift in tax revenue.

I agree 100%.  Its 14 years since the 17.5% tax band topping out at $48,000 was adjusted.  It's gone up a bit now, thankfully, but if inflation adjusted it should now be $68,000. (source RBNZ inflation calculator)  Only a minor amount of progress was made yesterday towards what would be a fair and proper tax bracket adjustment.  I guess something is better than nothing.

US jobs reports comes in 272.. not rate cuts anytime soon... not NZ economy but if rate stay higher in US yield on the 10 year is bouncing up today..

money goes where the yield is risk free?

money could drain farther or not arrive for the NZ markets...

who would want to invest in a country with low growth... hopefully NZ can show some green soon,,, somewhere..
