BREAKING:
Labour has announced a tax policy that includes a tight Capital Gains Tax:
- 28% on profit after 2027 for residential and commercial property
- Family home, KiwiSaver, farms, financial assets excluded
- Would pay for a medicard for three free GP visits a year

It’s a good start!

Regulatory Standards Bill will expose the SPCA to penalty if they remove abused animals; it will expose taxpayers to compensate suspected criminals for confiscated assets; farmers can do as they want; Peter Thiels can build bunkers anywhere. A terrible bill with > 98% opposed. #nzpol

Votes for Māori wards

District and region roll of honour - from top to bottom
would have been nice to have a high profile left-leaning mayoral candidate in NZ's biggest city
Turns out Wellingtonians came out in force on Saturday, single biggest day of voting. 48% participation which is the best result since at least 2016.
