    It's often the other way around, they will be cap in hand to the govt after any disaster.. GFC corona, earthquake, flooding etc.

    The Bureaucracy have spent how many hundred years firmly attached to the tit of private sector and private enterprise sucking away ?

    Without it they would wither and die - would they not - peasant friend ?

    You like South America - say Costa Rica ?

    Many peasants there and smart money all run away

    If Comrade Parker wants to start poking the tigers at large, then he and his incompetent mates risk get badly bitten or savaged yet again - surely ?

    It wouldn't be the first time an incompetent mob of Labour nincompoops have tried their luck and paid a price for their stupidity

    Australia has a huge staff of public servants, America too (state + local).

    UK tried to trim theirs but it didn't work out too well and NHS is a disaster.

    The focus should be on real issues not worn out talking points and agenda's from the 1980s.

    Most would doubt Labour's ability to focus or deliver on anything after the long list of recent FAIL performances

    How many extra bums planted on Civil Service seats added under this mob's watch ?

    How much extra thrown at Consultants to make up for the large void within Govt ranks ?


    Their incompetence with existing Tax forms should make all concerned about their abilities in wanting to syphon even more on any old poor excuse.

    That allays any look over the fence at what is going on next door .. in attempts to justify their backwards focussed
    attention and poor attainment on what was in their hands, surely


    Feel like being made poorer ? -

    Bruce Cotterill: Envy taxes will only result in making us all poorer

    This is what Comrade Parker is hell bent on delivering


    Feel poorer already on Cost of Living, Interest Increases, Disasters, sagging / volatile property & rental markets ?

    Parker proposes to deliver to all a newer more comprehensive form of "Poorer" to eclipse what they have
    already inflicted on all

    Only the idiots and or those in a long deep sleep out there could fail to see it

    Cause it is a load of crap. Bruce just says much what you would say. Envy tax, tall poopy syndrome, without the wealthy society would collapse, they are the wealth generators and job creators if you bring in a CGT and they will leave and NZ will collapse.

    Interesting that Bruce provides opinions on how to run the country on a regular basis in the herald. I am not sure how long has he been chairman of Asset Plus but if that is the best he can do for one of the smallest simplest companies on the NZX I do not know how he would go managing a country of 5million. I imagine centuria appoints the board and have done OK along with the board of directors over the years but the plebs look like they have had their wealth halved under Bruce's leadership. I don't really know if this is true but play the man not the ball as I always say.

    He did not let us down in the article though, he finished with the quintessential threat of leaving and taking his wealth with him. What a co*k. Although to look at his CV I am being unfair and he does a hell of a lot for NZ. Maybe just spread himself too thin to provide better governance at APL.

    Last time I looked it was motivated hard working young people leaving NZ for opportunity abroad rather than the rentiers who are firmly entrenched and fighting hard to keep their comfortable position.
