Simple question.... why do you think a CGT is better than a Wealth or Inheritance Tax?

That presupposes I think anything about any comparison of those things.

Fossil fuels above all as we enrich private wealth

Who granted Peter Thiel kiwi citizenship, and who got the money, the taxpayers?

In other words you have no idea about how any of them would work… only that some on here who do might not like them. Instead of continuously calling for a CGT, why not look at how people trying to use KiwiSaver to save up for a first house would be effected by a CGT on shares.

What's going on here, is she trying to help hardcore smokers switch to vaping tobacco or is it another cunning plan by the tobacco lobby to sell more product?

Watch: Minister Casey Costello says heated tobacco tax cuts a 'trial'

The minister has defended the changes, saying she was looking at "a range of options" to help addicts.

Another cunning plan.

Probably tucked away in a secret account in the Caymen Islands or Panama is it, hope we don't get whacked for telling the truth too much conspiracybro

Well, Mike, you're the one putting words in my mouth, or rather my posts....let's just call it assumptive attribution. A common disease of the right wing posters around here, quite tiresome, but if that's what amuses you lot c'est la vie

A capital gains tax would ensure some sort of fairness of distribution in our one horse property driven economy, where politicians, especially this lot are in thrall to the real estate industry. It's amazing how nz is the only country in the oecd not to have a cgt - we must be geniuses, or know something that other countries don't or.....probably keen to enrich the already wealthy and mega landlords and keep the middle class locked in.

I'm picking the latter.

Uhhh…. It’s not stripping a billion out of the health system - the health system is out of control, spending a billion more than the massively increased budget National just gave it.

Funny how adding 2,500 extra middle managers hasn’t helped and only blown the budget. Hopefully these changes strip the layers out and put more at the front line.

Health just seems to be generally unfixable across multiple govts - centralising it certainly didn’t help. Does it ever (polytechs, Auckland super city)?

No, the health system is vastly underresourced, underfunded and overworked.

It's a graph. What does the y axis signify there Frank, and the purpose and source of said graph?

Quite clearly shows the number of DRs relative to the NZ population has nearly doubled in nearly 25 years. Normally "vastly underresourced, underfunded and overworked" industries see a reduction in workforce.

The question becomes is it nurses? Is it administrators?

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Nurses seem to be on the increase as well

The label says "Number as a percentage of 2001 category value"
