  8.  @Gumpmachine1  I see so subsidy was designed to be self funding to encourage change . If additional costs are placed on some citizens who contribute to reducing the need for imported energy , this additional tax should be used to reduce others current taxes paid. Is this not government policy? ( income tax is going like this)

  11.  @mattytee8671  Yes this part logic of the government thoughts. Long term econmics. Labour is not perfect but NZ Superfund/kiwi saver 2000 idea and back in 1972 self funded wage deduct for super. ACC Labour continue (1972) what was started by National.
