A CGT would do nothing. Doesn’t work in AU the UK. It’s just another tax. Stamp duty doesn’t work either. A wealth tax or land tax would work.

In reply to Wheel. Correct - it will drive prices higher.

In reply to Wheel. I believe they think farming keeps NZ alive. Fuck knows why when the average kiwi can no longer afford to eat meat.

In reply to standalonecomplex. I assume Keepcalm and Yeti are saying it will drive food price inflation.

Martyn I don’t see the link between inflated food prices ( with probably a touch of gouging along the way which basis point rises won’t fix) and the story outline for The Big Short. I think it’s pretty clear who owns the original debt, it’s the lender. Isn’t it? Problem is the issuer of the credit default swap may not have money to honour the swap when the original loan defaults.

In reply to Yeti. There is no assault on farmers. The scheme has been prepared by the primary sector as an alternative to the ETS. It’s laughable that people are making out like the farmers are being down trodden and have had a scheme foisted on them. Those feral pricks at groundswell don’t even speak on behalf of the industry. They just act like it. Have you heard loads of pushback from National etc? No.

National s answer is tax cuts, end of story. They have costed this out by taking their socks off to count their toes also. Yes masters of the economy.
Fact is they are not only hopeless, they are useless, as seen by everything they say and do.
