The next election will feature tax with the left wanting either a CGT and/or Wealth Tax to close the wealth gap in NZ compared to other OECD countries that have them.

Was interesting watching energy minister Simon Watts on q and a yesterday asked why a majority of the recommendations that a group was commissioned to look into electricity and how we can better the system hasn’t been picked up with electricity obviously playing such a part in our situation. Tame asked what if we have a dry winter to which the response was the trust me approach that’s been the mainstay of this government
