Once a geotechnical report mentions specific design, Councils love it….. it’s removes them from legal responsibility.If Auckland council won’t care during a building consent, they won’t care during a resource consent either

Many have asked do you read what you post? I think you do but your idiology makes you see what you want to believe.
The group has former Labour Mayor Fran Wilde and the owner of Stuff which is the most left media in NZ.
Some right winger as well but hardly a ‘right power bloc’ and seems just a real mix of people dismayed at Wellingtons direction and wanting better.
Do you ever look at all the trees but find you can never see any forests mate?

The right, the neoliberal ideology - there's all a pattern there, that we've been through before at least for two decades and we're going through again. It's all there if you want to look, to quote Rizzah.
You remind me of that great Alvin Lee song, ' I'd love to change the world but I just don't know what to do'. Sorry, I can't upload it for you, great socialist number though.

Wait, so people keeping the money they own, is costing the govt billions? Got that communist accounting degree i see.
@MaybeTop8 if you owe me $10, but I say just pay me $8; have I given you $2?

Same thing happens in Australia. Commies always cry about "billions in fossil fuel subsidies" except 9/10s is the diesel fuel rebate for mining vehicles ie an improperly collected tax.
It's a pity you resident racists don't see it that way when it comes to māori businesses.
Explain the racism?

Wait, is this trolling?
You supporting or against the policies where iwi businesses pay no tax while everyone else does?
Shouldn’t all businesses pay the same tax regardless of race?
Or are you just trolling? The Māori Authority Tax Rate is 17.5%.

17.5% for māori vs 33% for everyone else is basically no tax isn’t it

It would be interesting to see what becomes of the review into charities and the tax status of the "businesses" such as Sanitarium and the social housing provided by the likes of the Sallies.Sounds pretty fair then

I think Best Start, the childcare provider forced this review.
They are a money making entity designed to build a property empire for the owners with the non profit business fitting out and setting up the building… big tax dodge where they bent the rules to get into charity status.
Every business should pay the same tax.
Best Start... the Wright Foundation?
