Hooton has had an epiphany.

What I’d do if I was Finance Minister – Matthew Hooton
By Matthew Hooton
Inflation, unemployment and the deficit are lower than expected, and wages and nominal GDP are a bit higher. Median voters are enjoying tax cuts. Mortgage rates will fall materially by Christmas, so house prices will recover.

Meanwhile, Labour’s leader is this generation’s Bill Rowling, Geoffrey Palmer or Phil Goff, not a David Lange, Helen Clark or Jacinda Ardern.

If NZ First remains above 5%, National should be re-elected.

Yet the economic data is mostly just an inevitable reversion to the mean. The medium-term trajectory remains as catastrophic as Treasury has warned for 20 years.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/what-id-do-if-i-was-finance-minister-matthew-hooton/SKDI3KE2I5EN3L67F2UCW5QJHU/

There’s little doubt the next Labour Government will introduce a capital gains tax (CGT) or David Parker’s more radical wealth tax.

Choose your poison. You’ll be paying one within a decade. A CGT would be better. Better still would be National designing it based on sound economics, rather than Labour motivated by class war.

“Median voters are enjoying tax cuts”
What tax cuts
There are NO tax cuts
There has been a partial, belated, catch-up on tax bracket indexes after 14 years
But NO cuts.
And no action in in indexing for the future to protect earners.
Beneficiaries are indexed but those that pay the tax are NOT.

A government that owns the money supply, then does not balance the books, creates inflation, that is in particular a theft of the people’s savings, whilst taxing the interest, then looks to self righteously tax other peoples assets, that may have grown from government created inflationary capital gains.

In particular they can say it is all part of being in Equity for everyone..
So the government gains a payoff in voters that some see of that promised money so have become educated to believe in the working out of Equity, as also being such Diverse Inclusion.

“Equity for everyone” = Socialism*

You may nominally own the capital, but the State will tax and inflate away its value in a single generation.

How can families look after themselves* when the State keeps them poor by taxing their assets?

* Pay for the education, healthcare and retirement of their members without public funding.

Most capital gains tax ideas for NZ are completely dishonest.
Pay hard cash for gains but if a loss you only get a non cash credit that you have three years to use up .

So if you bought a house for $1.5 mill in Jan 2021 when interest rates were at a 50 year low; and house prices as a result were very high then through circumstances in March 2024 had to sell it- loss of job, health, decide to emigrate etc

And sell it in the market for For $1.32 mill then you have loss of $180,000 for which there is no real tax relief.
Same as the old days.

But if there is a gain of $180,000 you have to pay tax on the gain. even though it was merely the market moving at its own pace.
At 33% top marginal tax rate this is $60,000 out of pocket to a malicious actor; otherwise called – your Government .

Worse than getting you bank current account cleaned out by a Nigerian.

That is tax inequity.

Further, the goo-mint has a pump and dump scheme for foreigners into NZ by over 100,000 a year and houses are not built fast enough to cater for this.
Supply and demand.
Councils drag their feet and charge high fees.
They create the house price inflation and then profit from bad acts that work against the people they are meant to represent .

Just to clarify, for the OAP from Tauranga, most current politicians are malicious pricks who do not represent the people.

SAS hero opens up on Kabul hotel siege, NZ troops twice targeted by friendly fire
A new book from ex-SAS commander Jamie Pennell lifts the lid on a secretive Kiwi unit’s Afghanistan operations, including the deadly Kabul hotel siege.
Troops made a mercy dash into the hotel to save staff and guests from being beheaded and thrown from the roof.
A unit member was lucky to survive after taking the ‘full blast’ of a Taliban terrorist’s explosive vest.
The veteran says the Commonwealth’s highest decoration for valour – the Victoria Cross – should have been awarded to Steve Askin.

A highly decorated ex-NZSAS trooper has revealed how he and colleagues were almost killed by friendly fire during the bloody Kabul Intercontinental Hotel siege in 2011.

And the former soldier – who was awarded New Zealand’s second-highest bravery award for his actions during the battle – has also described a teammate’s miracle survival after a Taliban attacker detonated a suicide vest just metres from him.

In his new book, Serviceman J: The Untold Story of an NZSAS Soldier, ex-commander Jamie Pennell has revealed never-before-released details of the high-profile attack launched by nine Taliban insurgents armed with assault rifles, machine guns, RPGs and wearing explosive suicide vests.

Early life and family
Brownlee was born in Christchurch to Leo (a sawmiller, who died in 1989) and Mary Brownlee.[3] He is the eldest of five children.[3] His uncle, Mark Brownlee, represented New Zealand in rowing at the Summer Olympic Games in 1964 and 1968,[4] and his cousin Scott Brownlee (Mark’s son), represented New Zealand in rowing at the Olympics in 1992, 1996, and 2000.[5]

A Roman Catholic, he attended St Bede’s College where he twice failed to gain University Entrance.[6] After leaving high school, he worked in his family’s timber business and received training in carpentry. After qualifying as a builder, he retrained as a teacher and taught woodwork, technical drawing and Māori, over a period of twelve years, at Ellesmere College, and at his alma mater, St Bede’s..

Starmer focused much of his speech on the protests and riots rather than the stabbings, with the PM blaming the unrest on “far-right hatred” and vowing to give police forces the “national capability” to prevent similar riots in future.

English language proficiency in Japan is a disgrace.

BBC
Buggering British Children
————————————————
Huw Edwards suggested a junior colleague could stay over in his BBC-funded hotel suite on the eve of Prince Philip’s funeral and sent a picture of the room including the bed, it was reported today.
The recent ex-Beeb employee said that the newsreader reached out and said there had been ‘plenty of room’ to stay the night.

——-
and
When asked about Edwards’ conviction over indecent images of children, he added: ‘I am shocked but it just shows what sort of person he is, and that people were right to try to speak out’.

Edwards has made a ‘mockery’ of the BBC and was aided by a small band of his bosses who kept his arrest secret for months, betrayed staffers said today.

The corporation faces yet more damaging questions after another of its biggest stars was revealed to be a sex offender after Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris and others.

This work, completed in 846, is al-Bukhārī’s best-known collection.
It was the first work of its kind exclusively dedicated to hadiths, and is the most authoritative of the so-called Six Books-canonical collections that were written down some 200 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad.
These books ultimately cemented the role of hadith as the second most important source of Islamic jurisprudence after the Qurʼan.

Use to fly in choppers to offshore drill rigs were the window glass rubbers were put in back to front, with the locking rubbers were on the inside. With little loops of nylon belting were behind the locking rubber, so if the chopper went down in the water you could pull the locking rubber out and push the window glass out of the way and exit!

One of the outs used to be if you were a company director. Although Mum & I owned the freehold of the land & buildings we had a management company which owned the plant & livestock. We had 49% each, the other two shares were in the names of our accountant & our son. I used independent contractors for cultivation, drilling & weed spraying. That meant that so long as I exercised common sense anyone working on the property was doing their own thing.

Worksafe were however cruising around taking photos from the road where they could. Instance I refused to wear a helmet on the quad so I was open for harassment there. They did over the neighbour but he was employing a couple of hands.

Thought for Friday:

… you only thought the world would be better if it was run by women if you didn’t actually know many women. Or old women, at least. Take the whole thing about the dimity scarves. Women had to cover their hair on Fridays, but there was nothing about this in the Book, which was pretty dar-pretty damn rigorous about most things. It was just a custom. It was done because it was always done. And if you forgot, or didn’t want to, the old women got you. They had eyes like hawks. They could practically see through walls. And the men took notice, because no man wanted to cross the crones in case they started watching him, so half-hearted punishment would be dealt out. Whenever there was an execution, and especially when there was a whipping, you always found the grannies in the front row, sucking peppermints. ‘
