    Shows yet again what an absolute shambles the quarantine regime was.

    Thank heavens that Woodhouse highlighted via the two women what a disgraceful bunch of incompetent misfits this government is.

    Otherwise, the mess would have continued and next thing we know, NZ is back in lockdown.

Paying tax on the same thing over and over.

    It's one of the reasons Local Council Rates are called Rates. They are not meant to be a tax as only the Crown can set a tax.
    If you have a million in term deposits you pay tax on the interest every year. If you have a million in a company you pay tax on the profits every year. Why wouldn't I pay tax on the annual derived value of my Gin Palace? It is inefficient not to tax wealth invested in "non productive" assets.

    Our primary residence is not an conventional asset in the same category as funds invested in a company or term deposit - it is our home.

    It is probably the most productive asset in any country - providing shelter and security.

    For the record - Panda-NZ is in my ignore list.

    I do not suffer fools and idiots - he is both imo.

    Assumed my gender, nice one. I am indeed a male though

    might be part of the problem with some closed shop communities in NZ. :\

    JT, El Z, Westerly, where are you in Labour's time of need? Or have you woken up and smelt the coffee?

    The media smell blood....when that happens they are a rabid pack of dogs....no matter who you are....Cindy look out. She knows this. Hence the Social Distancing from Dr Bloomfield. No more cosy media conferences alongside the Cynical One. No...it's off down the road to a room that is obviously not designed for media briefings. Anything to put distance between her and failure. I would bet she is already sounding out a future role at the UN as we speak.
    Gee, do you think I have time to sit on a computer half the day like Balance and reply to the biased rubbish the National pack dogs submit. There is more to life than that.

    Comrade Cindy attempting to lie her way through interviews :

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “What did you see in Ashley’s face?” Hosking followed up.

    “Well, the same that I’ve seen across people who are working in health generally." Really, Cindy?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “No one here is placing blame at any individual’s feet for something that was a systems failure, and that we are all working really well collectively together to resolve.” We all saw David Clark put the blame on Bloomfield, Cindy.


    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “In my view, it was certainly not the intention to leave that impression that some have taken from that interview.” It is exactly the intention from your gutless, despicable and lockdown violating David Clark, Cindy.
