Nonone SAVED hard for a rental property.
They leveraged the capital gained on their 1st or 2nd property to buy it...
EVERYONE who works hard and has to rent because they're priced out HATES landlords.
Besides you can evade the CGT by selling up before July 2027

Imagine reacting like "ew CGT to fund free GP visits" 🤣
I think it's very clever to tie the CGT to a tangible thing like free doctor visits. Otherwise it becomes a "booooooo Labour taxes moooooore" drama (I mean, it still will be but less so) #nzpol

It should be mandatory for every MP with a portfolio to do at least 1 month shadowing every role that is affected by their decisions.

That's because Ben Bell who got reelected for mayor is young and energetic and gives the people of the town a vision for the future, despite all of the shit the council threw at him in the beginning.
Voter turnout has slipped across Southland this year, but one district is bucking the trend.
Gore bucks the trend of fewer people voting in Southland

I honestly believe all govt MPs should shadow all roles under their portfolio affected by decisions made by them for at least a month before they are allowed to make or change policy.
They've got the time to fly about and gloat their success in press stand ups, they have the time to do this.

Just to be an "Um, Actually" 🤓 idiot for a second but the phrase "you might not do politics, but politics will do you" is a rephrase of @philipdefranco.bsky.social 's
