Nah he highlighted some story as proof however the numbers from a bunch of different sources are all over the place & some reference things like NZ house prices defying gravity & continuing to rapidly increase, think that might have been from Credit Suisse who never fail to underwhelm on every bit of analysis Iβve seen from them. Other sources have Aussie net wealth at 3x NZ. Anyway Iβll say it again, we arenβt 4th for net household wealth globallyβ¦ and as you point out our economy isnβt similar in size to the UK!

Wouldnβt need the Moari party with labour and greens. Nobody saw that coming in 2017 either

Also ruins the CGT idea. Governments will be owing us huge money for the capital losses.
THAT will be the argument against a CGT.
Either they pay for the losses which hammers govt income during recessions or they tax the gains and donβt pay out on losses which is just fundamentally unfair.

Itβs turning, Iβve already told you this. By the next election things will be sweet.
Only way they don't need the mΔori party is if NZFirst go with them or Labour take back majority of the mΔori seats or both IMO
Not NZ politics butβ¦.
β¦ I saw Sir J Key on a news article the other day talking about rate rises and he referenced the rates on his Maui property.
I canβt recall which years he quoted but think it was the last 2 years - in the first year his rates were $US14,000 and in the next year $US114,000!

Found an article
Key said there needed to be more realism about what visitors pay overseas, reflecting on his own experience spending five months of the year out of the country.
βWe own a house in Maui [Hawaii], okay. Two years ago, our rates bill ... was US$14,000.
βThis year I got our rates bill. Itβs $114,000. By the way, that is on top of the US$60,000 we pay for council taxes.
βSo when people tell me, βOh, by the way, the Government set the [international visitor levy] fee at $100 Kiwiβ -- God, youβd be lucky to get a latte in bloody Maui for $100 Kiwi.βThe Post

Saying it doesnβt make it so unfortunately and not seeing any evidence to support that. Bullshit like Willis tries to spin about people being negative is because people are really struggling and little relief is being provided

Maybe paying for the rebuild of Lahaina? We were staying near there a year ago & it was incredible the devastation of that fire, an entire town virtually wiped out.

Seek job adds up 6% in September, port import volumes bouncing last few months, courier volumes increasing after 3 years of declines. Iβm not just saying it, things are beginning to recover, but not all at once obviously.

So you were there a month after the fire?
Incredible, have rateable values risen that much or are the fires the reason for the 100K increase?

Was on a Hawaii cruise and had a day in Maui. Stumbled on it and drove through the area. Most of it was closed off but massive area covered and whole communities gone

A leading doctor says women SHOULD NOT breastfeed their newborns without their permission in case the baby is VEGAN.
The sort of thinking of our far lefties on hereβ¦
Breast milk is vegan, as long as its human.
Same as cum.

Poor bastard, thatβs outrageous!!!! Itβs not just the middle and working class that are doing it tough. It canβt be cheap to insure and fuel his helicopter either
Maybe he just tips the staff less, to lighten the load and come out even
