So, you’ve got nothing – no surprises there. I reckon about $100 million.Written By: Incognito - Date published: 10:18 pm, September 1st, 2026
Perception is important. Dumping a truckload of AI slop is a perception, one of a commenter who’s too lazy to put up a modicum of effort and rely on un-checked AI summaries. Mods take a dim view of this kind of behaviour here, so this is your warning. ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 9:35 pm, September 1st, 2026

You’re a genuine expert, I see. How much will revenue be from Labour’s CGT in 2027/28, in your esteemed expectation?Written By: Incognito - Date published: 8:28 pm, September 1st, 2026
Key facts […] Costed at $525 million.

It stayed there because it was mostly working, and why move it if it wasn't really broken. But election time… Not AI crawlers? Your answer may or may not feed my AI paranoia.Written By: Incognito - Date published: 11:34 am, August 30th, 2026
Revenue from the CGT increasing over time relies on asset appreciation. Yes, but that’s only one factor. Asset prices are volatile and this is a known intrinsic issue with CGT. Which may not be the case and modest growth at best over the next 10 years. IMO ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 10:59 am, August 30th, 2026

Yet another downside to running record migration year upon year to make the books look good. What record migration? And the books (still) look shit!?Written By: Incognito - Date published: 3:47 pm, August 29th, 2026

I think the two things would in practice be unrelated. More silly nonsense from you. Obviously, this is the funding mechanism tailored for a targeted policy. You may need your umbrella today.Written By: Incognito - Date published: 10:14 am, August 29th, 2026

Over time, the CGT revenue will grow much larger than the total cost of funding three free doctor’s visits for all New Zealanders. What’s your evidence that IRD will collect the CGT revenue in a consolidated fund?Written By: Incognito - Date published: 11:04 pm, August 28th, 2026
Even if the CGT yielded nothing they would still meet whatever health needs were necessary. That’s just silly nonsense and another absurd ‘theoretical situation’ you cooked up.

Your rather unrealistic example showed an actual gain of zero, which is not a loss, neither phantom nor real. Of course, you left out other costs associated with a property sale, so any CGT would simply be added to overall cost/loss. Such is and would be ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 9:13 pm, August 28th, 2026
What’s a “considered fund”?Written By: Incognito - Date published: 9:09 pm, August 28th, 2026
I suspect that the cost of the 3 free visits to GP policy is going to have to be supplemented by other means. No need to be suspicious, as the (soft) numbers (estimates) are specified in B&W in Labour’s policy documents, if you can be bothered to read them ...Written By: Incognito - Date published: 8:51 pm, August 28th, 2026
Yup, gross negligence and dereliction of duty by poor managers who are not fit to govern. Poor process tends to produce poor products and unfortunately, but oh so predictably, this is one of the bad consequences of rushed law making.

Sure, if they occupy the property 80% of the time or 80% of the area. In which case they should also foot 80% of all utility bills, insurance, maintenance & repair, and water the garden.Written By: Incognito - Date published: 6:43 pm, August 25th, 2026
