As we know, there will be encylopedic tomes of exemptions, in the legislation on a land tax so that it can not all be bad.
The only catch some will have to battle much more, ‘run a gauntlet’, to be on that exemption list.,
Many “Aotearoa” lands will gain automatic “rahui” on land taxes though.
As some of even the ardent supporters of Mayor Mandemi in New York are finding.
…… effectively doxxing thousands of wealthy New Yorkers.
The city’s Department of Finance uploaded the comprehensive list –
— which purports to cover all unoccupied, non-primary residences in the five boroughs worth north of $1 million –
—- including the full names and addresses of every property owner. …..
…… “The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world.
That’s only possible when we all pay our fair share,” Mamdani ….
….. turns out even the middle-class isn’t safe from the pricey giveaways on his wishlist, which are being funded by the $23 billion in taxes Mamdani has backed since being sworn in.
He’s also pushing ahead with a months-long pressure campaign for even more new state taxes, including on city property owners ……
https://nypost.com/2026/07/27/us-news/mamdani-names-all-nyc-property-owners-who-could-be-hit-with-new-pied-a-terre-tax/
“Please Sir, can I have some more?” as the aspiring Oliver, Mandemi asked.
The real problem will be; “Is that enough?”
Would it be that if one has a section, a bach or crib, swanky or not, that “summer-residence” or elsewhere, then one may pay the tax in full?
Let the people decide if you should pay that tax.
Run through the gauntlett for that exemption. ! ! !
Would CCP officers be able to gain a kindly green exemption in NZ?
After all it is only $money and one has a kindly duty to contribute to many more
land“love-taxes”, to make everything nice for everybody.The more ridiculous the tax, the more the people will revolt. Liarbours shower tax, various poll taxes world wide all met the fate of defeat.
poll tax isnt ridiculous tho? its just so unpopular cuz it would require all the free loaders paying their fair share…. and theres lots of fucking free loaders.
True poll tax if it is structured properly is the fairest way to collect council taxes. But as you say the bludgers don’t like it.
even when the bludging scum only had to pay half the amount it was still highly unpaletable.
it always cracks me up that the ones who would be the biggest opposition (like chloe and her mate) to a poll tax are also the ones that scream and cry for a fairer tax system.
when a lefty says “fair” that really means “equitable” which means highly unfair handouts/priviliges to lazy scum.
Speaking of Chloe, I understand a poll in Auckland Central is showing her running a distant 2nd to the National candidate. Those bitchy eyes and asinine comments are finally catching up with her.

Tamati coffee, is that maori for gimme free coffee?
taraute… trout
my maori mate sat there one day with a few beers while his missus called out random english words and he would pisstake a te reo translation but many were right or pretty close cuz as you can see by Eds list its just a fucking joke.
I thought trout was Helun Clark.
From your examples Ed, I can only surmise that English is a Stolen Language.
A whiff of financial redress must be in the air.
Oh, that’s right it already is, it’s called the Maori Language Commission.

The back to work policy for young people that ‘makes absolutely no sense’
OPINION: When I was about five, growing up in the UK, my Mum had an accident at work. It left her unable to use the right side of her body.
She went from being a young, super fit, ambitiously passionate woman (and a world champion rower) to being unable to hold a pen. Or use a knife. Or tie her shoelaces.
She couldn’t drive, she couldn’t turn the lock on the door of a public toilet, and she certainly couldn’t work.
Now, Mum did get a medical pension from the government because she’d lost the ability to work. But it’s expensive to give that to someone in their 30s for the rest of their life.
So every few years, especially when the British government was on an austerity drive, they’d drag Mum into a doctor’s office to prove she wasn’t making this up.
Read More
Well, actually, they wanted to prove she WAS making this all up. Or at least not trying hard enough to find a job. Not pulling her socks up. (Never mind that she couldn’t put her socks on herself.)
She had to prove, repeatedly, that she really was too sick to work. She did. She got the money.
And she used it to go to physio three times a week, every week, for over ten years. Eventually, after 10 years of rehab, she could drive again. Work a little bit again. Hug me again.
I was thinking about that this week. Thrice weekly physio is about $200 a week in today’s money. (I pay $70 a pop, even with ACC funding a bit of it.)
It’s about what you get, as an 18 or 19-year-old living at home, if you’re on the Jobseeker Health Condition, Injury, or Disability benefit – Jobseeker HCID. (Currently Jobseeker is $276.46 a week if you live at home, $324.50 if you live independently.)
And in November, the Government is cutting this benefit for teens.
Last October, the Government announced it was cutting the general Jobseeker benefit for 18 and 19 year olds (whose families earn more than 65k a year). These 4300 odd teens will now have to be supported by their parents.
What has since become clear, is that this cut will also apply to those teens on a certain type of Jobseeker benefit, the Jobseeker HCID.
Jobseeker HCID is a type of unemployment benefit given specifically to people who have to temporarily stop work, or reduce their hours, because doctors say they’re too sick to work right now. And there’s currently 2733 18 and 19 year olds on it. Some have cancer.
About 1800 odd have a serious mental illness.
But from November, unless their family earns less than $65,000 a year, or they can prove a broken relationship with them, these kids will lose it.
Their parents will have to find that $276 a week. Why? Because we need to get young people back into work!
That’s been the message since October. We don’t want these kids on welfare!
And last week in the House, Social Development Minister Louise Upston was asked by MP Ricardo Mendéndez March what she’d say to those on HCID with cancer, and at risk of losing their benefit, she replied, “it doesn’t change the fundamental point. We believe that we don’t want 18- or 19-year-olds trapped on welfare, we don’t want them stuck on a benefit for another 20 years of their life; we want them to be supported by their family in the first instances, and preferably in education, training, or in work.”
So. We’re stopping their benefit to incentivise them to work…but we know they’re too sick to work right now. Which is why they’re on the Jobseeker HCID to begin with…
This makes absolutely no sense.
Is taking their benefit away going to cure their cancer? Fix their PTSD? That’s what would get them back in the workforce. Not cutting the money they have for rehab…
But whatever, it’s their family’s problem now!
And it will be a problem, because what family has $270 odd a week, $14,000-ish a year, spare right now to cover this? Man, one third of us don’t have $500 in cash for an emergency.
The vast majority of families will just not be able to pay it, so no more weekly physio, or regular therapy, or cancer recovery programmes.
The irony is Jobseeker HCID is meant to be for when you’re temporarily unable to work due to illness.
It is more of a stop gap; you don’t need a period of incapacity to go on it, just a MSD-accepted doctor’s certificate. So let’s say you get cancer, can’t work for a year, you can go on HCID, use the money while you’re getting treated, recover, go off HCID.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/361014401/back-work-policy-young-people-makes-absolutely-no-sense
fixing this issue is a really easy do but no one has the guts to do what they should.
Bring back youth rates and allow companies to train young people.
It really is that simple. Expecting 16 or even 18-year-olds to start work with no training, piss poor education, and more is about as stupid as anyone can get.
You simply cannot put an old head on young shoulders.
No one says you can’t pay more, but you should pay more as skills and ability increase.
Delayed gratification and earned gratification.
Another socialist failure: paying kids adult wages.
“The vast majority of families will just not be able to pay it, so no more weekly physio, or regular therapy, or cancer recovery programmes.”
I don’t understand. Surely if there’s a medical or psychological condition then any treatment would still be funded?
I would also add that a family doesn’t need to find that amount, as unless they need to pay extra rent to gain a bedroom for a teen, it’s a bit of food and power. Maybe in these cases visits to the doctors would add up.
Don’t get me wrong though – my feeling is that if someone is old enough to fight for their country, or decide to get married, they ain’t the financial responsibility of their mum and dad. I know it also isn’t the responsibility of general taxpayers either, but the hard reality is that IMO most of the blame lies with our government failing to provide economic conditions in which young people can gain employment.
This is largely victim-blaming and petty. God help me, I might agree with the fuckwit Menendez-March for the first time ever.
a huge chunk of the young dont actually want to work… well not actual jobs anyways.
they want part time online gigs they can do fuck all at so waste away at home pretending they want to work and just cant find a job.
then there is the genuine young folk that are eager as fuck to work but cant get a job or are already working hard.
personally i think jobless under 20s are the parents responsibility esp if theyve never even had a proper job yet. starting a work life on a bene is just gunna end badly. if theyre on a bene parents dont have as much motivation to kick their arses into gear and try harder to get a job etc.
Might be like that in your world but in the real world, if you are 15-16, those nasty cunts want you at school, where you just might get booted out. Better to let them work. Better for them and for everyone else.
They complain about the number of NZ’ers on the bene, and they complain about the number of immigrants coming in to perform jobs.
But they somehow can’t join the dots.
In the UK their National Health Service doesn’t employ British trained medical staff, they import migrant doctors and British doctors have to leave the country to find employment across the world.
Sounds like, looks like and smells like a socialist govt people trafficking policy.

Iain Lees-Galloway has a “cunning plan” to employ a distraction, a Cindy look-alike communicator to astroturf over the pit of tax hell the communist left will implement if they can fool enough economic illiterates. Is she “kind”?!!!!!! 🤡 💩

Me as well. My immediate internal response is “bitch” 🤬
A confused person writes:
https://e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-analysis/why-we-call-winston-peters-lao-pi/
But then I look at who this “Confused Person” is and I find:
“Mengzhu Fu is a Han Chinese migrant and a member of Asians Supporting Tino Rangatiratanga. They recently completed a PhD exploring diasporic Chinese solidarity with Indigenous movements in Aotearoa and Canada.”
If I recall correctly, even NZ Chinese whose families had been here for many decades weren’t enamoured with the new arrivals.
Again – it’s not usually the people themselves, it’s the number of them. To not wish to be invaded (and it was an invasion), is not unreasonable or racist. I’m sure the writer would be ok with millions of white Europeans moving to China, right?
FJA, even Rewi Alley who lived in China for 60 years could not become a Citizen of China. Probably the reason he could not become a Chinaman is because he was of English and Irish heritage. Now if he had a name like Wiremu that may have changed things.
I have been pondering on why Luxon is so useless. All he does is make announcements about things they will do sometime in the future. I never thought I would see it in my lifetime, two of our worst Prime Ministers back to back. I thought there would never be anyone worse at PM, than the bitch who fucked off, but this useless fucker Luxon is giving her a good run for that title.
Say what you will about Cindy, at least she made decisions and stuck to them.
Luxon is a one trick pony – the economy. Two problems with that:
i) there are other issues that they promised to address which, for some people, are more important than the economy. Maorification for me.
ii) the economy is still fucked
He’s gone. He holds no appeal whatsoever. It’s going to be a very interesting election.
Stephen Barrett, UK barrister says about Fabians. It is easier to consider two options rather than to determine their real reason for their actions. Are they incompetent or are they evil? Whatever, it doesn’t really matter because they have made it happen, caused it, put it in motion by their actions and should be held accountable.
This explains most politicians inexplicable actions.

The Prime Minister said he knew the “reality” of running a business.
“The last person I wanted to ever talk to as a CEO was the Government.”
Luxon never wondered whether he could “get some grant money to do something”.
“No,” he said. “I was building a kick-arse business”.

Luxon pioneered the Baldy brand of shampoo for bald men.
Not sure how I feel about this development.

Fingers crossed she is right.

hamas are as full of shit and as trustworthy as iran, trump or the jews… just full of shit cunts.
i see israel is now involved in the iran deal, that pretty much guarantees there will be no solution for at least a decade unless all out war and boots on the ground.
you really think netenyahu will change the view hes been spurting for the past 30 or 40 years?
Well the part about hamas agreeing to disarm is true. The question is whether they will follow through. But if they are starved of funds as this lady claims they may have little choice. As with anything to do with the middle east it’s only the outcome that proves anything not the promise.
That word does need to be tempered, my boy. Try cnut. It’s not so harsh on the adults.

Given the furore (in the UK) over the tee shirt depicting a guillotine and the words “we have plans for Nigel” (Farage) what do we make of the mock execution of Winston Peters by guillotine by a bunch of foreigners who should never have been given visas for this country in the first place?

Media Double Standards: Activists Stage Mock Execution and Peters Cut From the News
Duncan Garner | Editor-in-Chief
Auckland has two new train stations in Drury and Pukekohe, a massive $2.4 billion transport project designed to support South Auckland’s growth. Rail Minister Winston Peters officially opened the stations alongside Transport Minister Chris Bishop. Yet, when TVNZ One News reported on the event, they completely edited Winston Peters out of the coverage.

Winston Peters calls for arrests over mock execution, but group has no regrets | Stuff.co.nz
The group that staged a mock execution of Winston Peters with a puppet and a guillotine say it was meant to be satire and they have no regrets.
The New Zealand First leader says they should be arrested for Saturday’s stunt, which was organised by the Migrant Workers Association. The police have yet to receive any formal complaints. …
Nah, just guillitine them…..
The last sentence is sage advice for Luxon.
There was once a little bird trying his wings for the first time. But the first time does not see a successful flight. Instead, the little birdie falls hard on the ground.
Hurt from the fall, he can’t seem to be able to move. The weather is getting cold and it is getting dark so he resorts to cry for help.
A cow passes by, sees the little birdie in distress and decides to take a huge dump on the little guy. Not only is the dung warm and fuzzy but it provides perfect camouflage against predators. Instead, the little birdie crawls out of the dung and continues to cry for help.
A cat passes by, hears the little guy, picks him up, removes the dung from the feathers and unceremoniously eats it.
The moral of the story:
Not everybody who shits on you is your enemy.
Not everybody who removes you from a shitty situation is your friend.
And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!
Finance Minister Nicola Willis says the Government will extend its temporary fuel support measures, saying ‘based on the data in front of us, it remains too soon to declare a sustained stabilisation in the fuel price’
The Government has decided to keep temporary fuel support measures in place for now as petrol prices are likely to remain above $3 a litre through August and September, Finance Minister Nicola Willis says.
In March, the Government made a tweak to the in-work tax credit which gave low-middle income families with children up to $50 a week to help with the impact of rising fuel costs caused by conflict in the Middle East. This was followed by a temporary increase to mileage rates for home and community support workers and relief teachers.
Speaking at a post-Cabinet press conference alongside Prime Minister Christopher Luxon on Monday, Willis said Cabinet had decided to keep these temporary fuel support measures in place for now but they are under “active review”.
“When the Government introduced these measures, we indicated they would be temporary, either lasting for a limited 12-month period or until fuel prices had stabilised, whichever came sooner.”
Initially, having 91 octane below $3 a litre for four weeks in a row was considered an indicator or a trigger of fuel price stabilisation and a “juncture” point for the Government to consider whether to remove the fuel supports, she said.

youre still an ignorant fuck without a clue.
the price is still low cuz all the oil futures bets are coming through… cant be having trumps mates losing mega billions now can we. plus alot of those futures were selling the reserves so the usa is making bank at the moment.
usa reserves are still steadily dropping, they cant really go below 300million without severe risk of the caverns collapsing and becoming unusable… reserves are now at 311million and dropping a few million per week.
the worlds refineries are still poking out around 8mil barrels per day more then whats coming out the ground.
alot of middle east infrastructure and wells will take years to get back online, venezuela is a flop and will take at least 12mnths to get an extra 1mil per day, 2030 before 2-3mil per day more.
ukraines been hammering russian oil, the houthis are playing games and hormuz is still fucked.
all theyve done so far is buy a bit more time, then theres the fertilizer situation but your tiny brain cant process that
HIGH YEAR-ON-YEAR, BUT PROSPECTS WEAKEN
More than 40,000 new homes were consented in the year to June, up +19% on previous year. The rises were higher in Auckland (+20%) and Canterbury (+33%). But recent conditions may mean the peak has already passed. Population growth is now below average and a large increase in the number of available homes will weigh on demand. At the same time, interest rates and building costs are rising, and the number of builders failing commercially is rising.
NON-RES CONSENTS SHAKY
The value of commercial building work being consented has eased back modestly over the past year. With sluggish economic conditions and ongoing uncertainty about the economic outlook, developers and occupiers are likely to remain cautious about committing to major capital expenditure in the near term. Things would have been worse without good warehouse construction (for on-line delivery).
SLIDING
The number of commercial properties advertised for lease is still rising. We had thought we were near its high point in this cycle, but it has proven illusory. Nationally, these listings are up +15.5% at the end of July from a year ago. If there is a bright spot, it is central Auckland were they are down -6.8% from a year ago. But in South Auckland in the city’s industrial heartland they are up +33.6%. In Waikato they are up +23% on the same basis, in Tauranga up +10.5%, in Wellington up +34%. Even Christchurch is up +13.8%. This listing data is sourced from realestate.co.nz.
