The Front Page: Chlöe Swarbrick on taxing the ultra-rich and what's next for the Greens - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-front-page-chloe-swarbrick-on-taxing-the-ultra-rich-and-whats-next-for-the-greens/7B7M27MK6KSPYE274FNPH2B244/

Chlöe comes across as an articulate, funny and genuine person, who above all is talking to the concerns of real people, in a political landscape where we are being otherwise ignored. Keep it up!

@rob _None_ of that article shows up to nonsubscribers. Could anyone give a potted summary of what she says?

@quixote It's not an article, you need to watch the video (20mins).

@rob Hmm. I'll check again, but there was just a black square.

@rob Yup, seems to run in Chromium. Looking forward to seeing that.

@rob It's just painful. She is so plain old _sensible_ and evidence-based. The billionaires who'd have to pay a small part of their fair share wouldn't even feel it. This isn't the Bolshevik Revolution we're talking about.

But somehow she's the radical, and the Seymours and Luxons whose vision ends at selling the country for parts, they're the sensible ones.

I mean, whuuuuuut??

@rob Also, is there a transcript or the like anywhere? She has plenty of specifics which go by too fast.

@quixote Not sure, sorry.
