Tax: the debate must continue
This was originally a post about the Future Fund, suggesting that it was unexceptionable, consistent with Labour thinking over decades, and sensible, if part of a renewed focus on economic transformation. Today’s tax leak shifts the ground. First, its substance is unsurprising. The later Robertson…

Is that it?
Labour's Capital Gains Tax policy has been released in a less than optimal manner. Details were leaked to Radio New Zealand and rather than have RNZ broadcast the details a hurried press release was issued. And Chris Hipkins cancelled his morning interview with Radio New…

Stuff’s Lloyd Burr infers striking workers are puppets
I’m no fan of Lloyd Burr. The last time I wrote about him, it was because I felt he was promoting Crimson Education (a Jamie Beaton and John Key business) without disclosing the numerous scandals that Crimson has been involved in. I felt it was…

National’s $62 billion budget hole
Yesterday Chris Luxon and Bishop announced their commitment to spend $1.2 billion to commence major works on “roads of national significance”. Their overall plans are much larger than that - equating to about $62 billion of roading plans without any funding sources under them. On…
