    Thats because Adern and Robertson are clueless. They clearly haven't read the report (like Adern yesterday not knowing about the greenhouse taxes in the report), Adern has lied about her small business experience so has no clue how a CGT might impact Small businesses and the best she can say about farmers is she lived in Morrinsville. Given these two are the best chance Labour has of understanding a CGT ( the rest of them are simply gormless), they need all the help they can get. Hence Cullen staying on to help develop the policy.

    To be fair they are both probably trying to fight the Kiwibuild fires since Twyford id so out of his depth and the hole he is digging only keeps getting deeper.

    Interesting that national had all the answers and conjured up figures prepared before they could have read the tax working group. report. Attempting to spread fear and misinformation and fake news around in advance. This is what this party has morphed into divisiveness, power at any cost, a polar opposite to where we need to be heading inclusive ness, fairness, well being, narrowing gaps, Global warming action, strong economy etc.

    It will be transparent to voters next election and voting for the Mercenary Party will be limited to an ever diminishing self inflicted sense of entitlement group whittling away to irrelevancy. Boy is there a complete rebuild needed for this fakery.

    “We extended his appointment as the chair of the TWG to 30 June because we were aware there would be extended public discussion on the report, and this has played out,” Finance Minister Grant Robertson said in a statement

    Well, he certainly sits firmly on the gravvy train, doesn't he? Non performance is for this government a key indicator to reward people.

    CGT divides the country, not the National Party. Labour has tried this before and always been burnt badly, but they don't learn

    Smile Disgusting Waste of Taxpayer Money Part II - How many $ to Implement

    [QUOTE=JBmurc;750420]This week it emerged that while the Tax Working Group has disbanded, Cullen has had his contract extended by the Government. Cabinet papers show Cullen was to be paid $1062 a day in his role as chairman of the TWG. “We extended his appointment as the chair of the TWG to 30 June because we were aware there would be extended public discussion on the report, and this has played out,” Finance Minister Grant Robertson said in a statement

    Thanks JBMurc

    I understand the Government is interested in feedback on CGT from voters.

    If this was not a costly, error fraught issue for kiwis and taxpayers, I would not comment on a political matter.

    However on this I feel we all should provide feedback as we see it - any shade any side of the arguments - our authentic views

    I agree with those TWG members who considered some plans unworkable and complex and are against a Cullen CGT tax.

    A few of my de Bono type "white facts" or musings.

    Cullen in 18 years in Parliament, some as Minister of Finance, did not see any merit - however at $1000+ a day he is happy to present options.
    Robertson and Adern are financially inexperienced - if they make enough mistakes, like CGT on the scale outlined they may learn something ...
    If there are problems with a small % with extensive property who pay little tax this can be addressed with current tax laws.
    When the last Tax Law rewrite started the goal was to simplify the Act and reduce the size. That worthy goal was abandoned.
    Politicians, Coalition Governments and bureaucrats as usual will likely create a new CGT monster ...
    If more revenue is the issue Jacinda needs the courage to increase tax and GST with transparency or cut Govt expenditure & give up the "CGT rabbit out of the hat" trick with "someboby else" paying for the feel good stuff"
    Uncertainty is costly, time lost can never be regained, and the Government is clearly uncertain - why get Cullen yesterdays man to advise ...
    The Govt should do their job ... just better than Kiwibuild ...
    A simple tax system is always best
    While Jacinda is one of the best Spin presenters in the world her arguments / illusions such as Norway and Canada have a CGT, implied therefore NZ ...
    I am sure we all remember "correllation is not causation"

    What do you think?

    Again an example of Labour not getting off their lazy arse. An interim report came out in Sept 2018 so plenty of time (including extended summer holidays) for both parties to get their heads around the likely issues and come up with some numbers. What particular numbers dont you like?

    I know you will only have 9 years of Labour in opposition to see what an opposition party does in opposition - not very much. Obviously. National is simply showing you what any good opposition party should be doing - and that is laying open any potential flaws in government thinking

    Start knocking your average Kiwi Battler in their Kiwisaver account as well as their limited investment opportunities and you'll likely see a ground swell of support for any opposition.

    I ageee. That is why it is folly to justify a CGT with primary residence and other exemptions simply on the basis that is what happens in other jurisdictions. You need to look at all the taxes and imposts (or lack therof.)

    Attempted groundswell spin and fear from National . We will see what the Govt takes up, im thinking the property cap gains tax myself and good job too, its been an unfair situ for far too long and National would never do anything that may be the slightest threat to their base thats all they care about.A thorough cleanout and reset is what they need to have any chance down the line.The removal of power avarice and snouts in the trough.

    As i said there are also good people in the national party too but they are being tarred with the same egotistical brush welded by their leader and his cronies.They need to remove this destructive rump asap imo..

    It was National who bought in the rental capital gains tax and removed a few tax "incentives" as well

    Recent article on property investment, their example assumed the property was also paid off over 25 years. Even on conservative return settings, it's way better than a standard fund, because of leverage and tax being defrayed until the end.
