Exact tax records are not necessary, but they should delcare any conflict of interests related to assets - being an investment property owner for example.

Yes, if there is a need to. Depends on whether the politician’s background

 @8GKCY72answered…4yrs4Y

No - that is a question for the USA - Donald Trump definitely should because it is accepted practice in the US - any undue influence should be declared eg funding from outside of NZ or big business.

 @9F8GVBZACTcommented…1yr1Y

Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office

Politicians should be required to release their tax returns, so people can see where their income is coming from. Having been in politics, their earnings from their political office is only part. Their income from company boards, trusts and other roles is quite significant and depending on how high this is and where it is coming from will provide transparency to their voters. They then have quite a factual tool to determine whether that politician has integrity or is lying to them about their political stance or motivation to support/decline certain policies.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

In the age of social media, do you think politicians can truly keep any aspect of their lives private, and should they try to?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Does finding out a candidate has drastically different personal beliefs from you change your willingness to support them? Why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Should the amount of personal information leaders share with the public change depending on their role or the issue at stake?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If a leader makes positive changes, do you think their past mistakes should be overlooked? Explain your reasoning.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you believe politicians should have the right to keep their personal lives private, or is the public entitled to know all aspects of their lives?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Imagine finding out a public figure you admire has a controversial secret; how does that change your perception of them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How important is it for you to know the personal values of the people you vote for, and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Would you still support a politician who has changed their stance on major issues multiple times? Why or why not?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would you feel if you discovered a leader you support had hidden significant parts of their past from the public?

 @9DJ2WY7answered…1yr1Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would you react if a politician you didn't support was found to be more transparent and honest than one you do support?
