“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.
