Stuff article this morning says that the Police stand to save a whopping 11k a year by removing the water coolers. If NZ is that out of pocket, I dunno.... maybe raise the tax for the 1%ers slightly?

I don't know why you people think increasing tax on the wealthy is a solution to anything when they can and will simply take their income offshore, providing they pay it in the first place.
If they get rich off the backs of the people in this country then they can do their bit to make sure it trickles down. All this offshore shit needs to stop.
If they cant recornise that it is pure greed to hide the money away from the people that helped them make it then they can gtfo.
I'm a small business owner. My friends are small business owners. My customers are members of my community. We all participate in the economy. If everyone hides their funds off shore then I don't think they have a right to make bank here. My 2c.
It is greed, and if you impact their greed in anyway they will take it all away. Why do you think nobody just taxes the wealthy more? They're scared to lose that tax they do get, since it's the biggest portion of tax.
Even though I don't like it, I know you're 100% right.
