You know there's a simple solution to the Auckland housing crisis ... house buyers just need to get some solidarity, go on strike, refuse to buy any houses .... the bubble will burst, house prices will drop, all will be right with the world

As I understand ity there are essentially three ways you can tax a trust, essentially you can tax the people who put money in, or you can tax the people who take it out, or you tax the trust's income itself directly
Part of why we are a tax haven is that we don't tax the person who puts the money in, nor do we tax any non-resident's beneficiary income the trust has that occurs outside NZ.
Other countries tax trusts and the people who access them differently, by moving your money around carefully you can avoid paying tax anywhere. If we taxed our trusts the same way other western countries do this sort of wriggle room would not be available to those who can afford it

Au contraire, Labour needs to keep Mallard, King, Goff, Cosgrove, and all the other troughers around so the voting public can be reminded what the party stands for
I'm not sure "trougher" is actually a word - my spell check complains, so does my dictionary - perhaps you are speaking a private language the rest of us are not party to?

Legal Beagle: The flag referendum:…, in reply to linger,
Conversely, the Lockwood flag actually achieved a majority of votes cast only in the following six electorates:
Clutha-Southland (50.4%); Ilam (50.8%); East Coast Bays (51.1%); Bay of Plenty (51.4%); Selwyn (51.7%); Tāmaki (51.9%).
Regardless of the high voter turnout in solidly National electorates, I would suggest that the overwhelmingly consistent direction of results should not be that encouraging for the National partyI think that for all for National and their mothpieces decrying how Labour and the Greens have been making this a partisan vote, the most partisan voters seem to have been National supporters

So the numbers are close enough that if we actually chose a better flag we probably would change it
Let's try for the Hundertwasser next time

So will ACC rates go up for the various sporting businesses like the NZRFU/etc, because their employees have long term work related injuries? …. or are we all stuck paying for it
