In this Vote Chat we talk to John about:
• Why stand for Parliament?
• Labour as part of the problem
• Superannuation
• Tax reform -- GST, CGT, Financial Transactions Tax, Inheritance Tax, and Universal Basic Income
• Investigation versus implementation
• Retirement age
• Radical reversal of neoliberalism
• Capital Gains Tax and Financial Transactions Tax

Vote Chat is a series of public interviews of politicians bought to you by the University of Otago Politics Department. In this chat John Minto is interviewed by Dr Bryce Edwards in front of a public audience.

The idea is to foster a different type of political environment whereby the audience doesn't just get the usual well-rehearsed campaigning speech from a politician.

Audience participation is encouraged and you can ask your questions either on the spot in the flesh, or by tweeting @OtagoPolitics or the hashtag #OUVoteChat2011.
