    Hacked with a machete would be more appropriate

    Just used Treasury's inflation calculator to price out the house Mum & Dad built in Glenfield for 8000 pound all up in 1967. Comes out at $284,000.

    Median value for that street is $704,000. They sold it about 8-9 years ago for ~$360,000.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Comment heard on NatRad this arvo about this Claytons Capital Gains tax - it will be largely ineffective, but when then bubble bursts it will be used by National to prove they "didn't do nothing about the housing crisis"
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Is pretty straight forward, if you're in the business of trading houses then you should be paying tax on income generated by that business. That's the way it's been for yonks, they're just tightening the definitions around "business".

    And I think 2 years is about the time you should be pinged for it, no excuses.

    None of which has anything to do with a CGT across the whole residential market.

    It's unlikely to make much difference. Lip service, at best. How will NZ tax someone who isn't registered in NZ for tax?
    The requirement for an IRD number on the various forms will cause people to think a little harder, but is hardly an insurmountable hurdle.

    They're really not trying very hard. But having said they wouldn't implement a CGT - which is why JK is so adamant this isn't a CGT, they've tried to find a balance between not penalising their supporters, and being seen to do something. Even if most people will see it as being as ineffective as it is.

    JK's done so many U-turns recently, he must be getting dizzy by now.

    He's competent at pulling the wool over the eyes of the bulk of the population. Voting for the percieved best of a bad bunch is still voting for a bad bunch!
    Better not to vote at all. Voting seldom changes anything!

    He's not going in the wrong direction.
    He's entered into a "steady as you go" phase which is almost a dead stop.
    I still prefer this to the direction the various opposition parties want us to go...

    Going in a direction is better than having the wheels fall off and being stuck on the side of the road....

    Yeah . I can get that .. I do get that you will never agree with me on politics .. you have your views and make your stand. I'm happy with that.

    Most people just follow .. that's what I don't get .. just sheeple ... bleat on about the Government them vote them back in ...

    No it's not ... especially if that direction is off a cliff (metaphor - not to be likened to the national party direction) Going in a Communist direction I am sure you would see as wrong - I hope you would see going in a fascist direction would also be wrong ...

    Going in the direction that sells our country to overseas businesses and overseas people would also be wrong.
