Shaw has already stated the if it is not there then they don't deserve to be government.

    Words that it won't happen under her watch are just that.
    One cant debatewith 777, he is totally unreasonable, one sided and plain nasty(look at his language. this is a great example of where the national party are at a dead end until they change their culture, change with the times, find humanity and compassion. Its possible but they need a complete cleanup and reboot as does 777 isolated somewhere out there in his walled mansion in the wastelands.

    Good on Jacinda for setting up the tax review. She knew a CGT would be unpopular yet she knew tax reform should be looked into. Home ownership rates are dropping and the ownership of wealth is becoming more concentrated in the upper deciles.

    ‘’However she is a MMP politician who would like to be in government. So she knows the centre ground and middle NZ’s aspirations cannot be ignored.

    Personally, Ardern’s Labour is looking like they will get my party vote. I think that will be be the second time in two decades that I would consider a vote Labour.

    We know saving / investment is just deferred spending so add the 15% GST you are looking at 45% tax take

    Especially when your years of hard labour takes effect on your body.

    Ridiculous comment. Every cent over $70,000 per annum is taxed at 33%. So while tax on the first 70k income is 14,000 each subsequent 70,000 earned is taxed at 21,000

    I applaud this govt in doing just asking the awkward question and the things that will still be changed some that will find themselves paying more tax for speculating etc. Good job. Give and receive.Adapt or perish.
    "power mad" is exactly the reason Jacinda abandoned her principles. She does not want to lose the next election so another 'Captain's call" disappears. James Shaw is on record saying if the Coalition does not introduce the CGT they do not deserve to be re-elected. Too funny !

    Trouble is labour didnt exactly do this. Nine years in opposition and they had no policy on CGT. So they had to hire a Working Group to do the work for them. Lazy, inept and gutless.

    It is up to Shaw to make his judgment before the next election if he does not wish to campaign as part of a coalition. NZF may pick up a few votes now.

    While housing supply failed to keep up with population growth and investors helped price first home buyers out of cheaper areas, Key’s National Party mostly avoided the issues. Were they Too unpalatable for the National Party Constituency?

    Ardern seems to think a comprehensive tax reform is necessary. However she does not have the parliamentary numbers to be able to achieve that. However she has said she hopes to introduce targeted changes. She has not abandoned principles but will try to find a different way to gradually achieve policies that takes into account parliamentary arithmetic.

    Hilarious, no sense of bitter entitlement there we know where the reek of bitterness and entitlement is still coming from. National are even claiming victory here, laughable and ever shrivelling credibility here from Bridges. I hope he stays as leader for obvious reasons. Shame about Winston but he always has been a bit of a populist and in one stroke he has given his party a good chance of getting back in and consigned national to the depths of Mt Doom. I was hoping that we would join the first world and have a fairer tax system , not to be but there will still be some changes to speculators etc, some consolation.

    Not so. It was Labour policy going into the 2011, 2014 and 2017 elections. And almost into the 2020 election. Canned after the 2014 election, temporarily reinvented for 2017 as a captain's call that was re-reinvented as a working group.

    Not saying the policy was thought through well, or at all apart from the slogans. But it was there.

    Yeah, got it wrong, but even at 30 cents compared wih Australia's 45 cents top rate the wealthy are doing well in NZ
