    It is irrelevant how they poll. If they want to get prior to the next election anything through parliament they will need NZ First support.

    And pretty sure Winnie will remember his clientele - particularly with the next election approaching soon.

    Professionals and senior government officials were the most in support”

    Would that be because they would profit from the extra compliance costs that will be inevitable? Or, that they would be better placed to find and benefit from the inevitable loopholes?

    I would like to see the level of support from the high income subset with an exempt yet very expensive house but no other assets.

    It was an ommision that the poll breakdown into owners of assets did not include the support level of those with an exempt principal home asset. Owner occupied housing is a significant class of asset ownership in NZ. They could be well be beneficiary of the proposed TWG scheme.

    With no details of a CGT scheme available yet, it's hard to see how anyone can be for or against it.

    There is the TWG report and its recommendations. The ToR were provided by the government so we the people could assume some or all of the recommendations will inform the policy to be announced in April. We could all keep quiet and accept what we are dished up. Good idea?

    In practice there has been some seriously robust debate on the TWG report, and the government might take a bit of notice.

    Tax Justice Aotearoa NZ. Read their ad in the herald this morning and agree with a lot of what they say but the name and colours make them sound like a cross between the Greenies and Maori parties. A lot of "out there" people in that crowd.
    Campaign supporters include the Public Health Association, New Zealand Council of Christian Social Services, Council of Trade Unions, Public Service Association, Hui E! Community Aotearoa, Equality Network, Closing the Gap, Poverty Action Waikato, and UCAN (United Community Action Network).

    Of course not, but so much of what I have read is simply blind criticism containing all sorts of wild assumptions, as though it was all done and dusted. I can't see anything wrong with constructive discussion on CGT or any other subject. To repeat my original statement 'With no details of a CGT scheme available yet, it's hard to see how anyone can be for or against it.' That does not preclude constructive comment.

    A coalition of supporters of the other coalition's tax policies?

    Don't see your reasoning here. Winston has lost votes since the election which probably never went to National, since they have also lost votes. So they will just come back from where they went which is likely Labour due to the fact they are the only party to have increased their votes in the polls.
