Yet another train wreck media appearance from Willie Jackson. Labour’s fourth-ranked MP has just said “no” when asked by Ryan Bridge on Herald NOW, if Labour’s CGT applies to commercial buildings owned by a business, and to KiwiSaver funds that invest in property. Both wrong. Chris Hipkins and Labour... show more

Lazy politicians always look to raise taxes, it is much harder to shave costs. Notice any taxes once introduced very rarely get reduced or abolished but very quickly get increased. So gauge your votes on politicians who work to reduce costs.

And just like that, Chris Hipkins shreds his “only one new tax” promise. After promising Labour would introduce no new taxes except a Capital Gains Tax, Hipkins has just green-lit a bed tax. A bed levy requires central govt legislation, meaning he is committing a Labour govt to legislating a new tax. You can’t claim “no other taxes” while green-lighting a new one that hits Kiwis who holiday in New Zealand and stay in commercial accommodation.

An extraordinary claim from Chris Hipkins this morning during his interview on Herald Now: it is impossible for economists to model the key behavioural effect Labour attributes to its Capital Gains Tax — shifting people away from property and into productive investment. Hipkins and Labour routinely champion this shift as one of the major benefits of their CGT. Yet they appear to have no idea when — or even whether — it will actually occur. Governments and economists routinely model behavioural responses to tax changes, including investment elasticities, deadweight losses, and risks of capital flight. NZ’s own Inland Revenue Department, Treasury, and previous Tax Working Groups have done precisely that for measures like the bright-line test and other tax tweaks. Australia, meanwhile, has extensive modelling on negative gearing and CGT discount reforms, which directly influence the relative attractiveness of rental property versus other assets such as shares and businesses. For Hipkins to claim such modelling is impossible is an absolute cop-out and is deeply concerning. At minimum, it should be a major red flag for voters. Labour has had two and a half years to develop its policy. In that time, it has apparently failed to find even a single economist anywhere in the world capable of modelling the central claim on which it is now running a major part of its election platform. Come on.

Labour’s election policies have quickly descended into farce. Chris Hipkins has now admitted that the party’s flagship promise of “three free doctors’ visits a year” might not involve seeing a doctor at all. According to Labour’s own policy, these so-called “free doctors’ visits” can be used with nurse practitioners instead. The party openly admits this, yet it cannot even say how many of those visits will actually be with a real doctor. Meanwhile, Labour is marketing the policy as “free doctors’ visits” to win votes, only to quietly concede it’s just another primary care appointment. What doesn’t change, however, is that taxpayers will still be forced to pay for it through the party’s proposed capital gains tax.

Train wreck. Chris Hipkins will be absolutely furious with Willie Jackson for revealing that, just ten weeks out from the election, Labour still has not decided whether it will bring back the Māori Health Authority and has not even discussed the numbers. Even more striking is Jackson’s claim that they are talking to “Māori healthcare experts” such as Labour candidate Kingi Kiriona, the former Deputy CEO of the Māori Health Authority. Kiriona has no health qualifications whatsoever. But does hold an MA in an undisclosed subject, a Postgraduate Certificate in Te Reo Māori, a BA in Screen Media and Māori, and a BMPA (Bachelor of Māori Performing Arts) and is best known as a kapa haka exponent. Te Aka Whai Ora appointed him DCE – Mātauranga Māori. That role was defined as leading tikanga, te reo, and Māori knowledge systems. That appointment and the fact he is now considered a Māori Healthcare expert, makes Labour’s apparent priority clear: cultural capability first, clinical outcomes second.

Now Mike Hosking has weighed in… and he does not miss. “Is Chris Hipkins missing a gene? Does he have a self-destructive predilection?

🚨 Is Apsana Begum MP a massive hypocrite? She brands herself as a socialist who wants to tax the rich. Yet despite earning close to £100,000 a year for the past seven years as an MP, she is still living in a council house. Even more awkward - Tower Hamlets Council’s own rules say you’re not eligible for a council property if you earn over £90,000. She earns more than that. But apparently those rules don’t apply if your name is Apsana Begum. Meanwhile, over 20,000 people in Tower Hamlets are stuck on the housing waiting list - families in genuine need, with no alternatives. She has even admitted she doesn’t need the property anymore, yet still won’t give it up. And just to round things off, she has claimed over £1 million in parliamentary expenses since becoming an MP. Funny how the people who want to tax “the rich” never seem to mean themselves. By her own standards, this is pure hypocrisy. And unfortunately, for now at least, she’s still my MP.

Stephen A. Smith admits the media has “NO BUSINESS” covering politics if they can’t admit when Trump does something right. “I hate to do this, but in this regard, I will come to the defense of the president.” “When he does something right, they won’t admit it.” “THAT’S WRONG!” “My disdain is not going to be of such an ilk that I can’t say anything when he does something right. You have no business being a member of the media if you can’t do that.” “Now, I don’t need no damn lectures from Pete Hegseth… but it is true. The bias is palpable. It’s real, and it’s excessive.” “And nobody in the media has any business doing that.”

338 pubs will have closed since Emma Reynolds for Wycombe 🌹 failed to answer this question about rural pubs and hospitality businesses struggling with Labour’s high taxes and rates. I asked this FIVE months ago because it was clear that rural and coastal pubs and businesses are struggling under Labour’s record taxes and costs. Why has it taken Labour so long to realise the damage done by their high taxes? If Labour really cared about rural communities, they will match the Conservatives’ plan to SCRAP business rates for our high streets and stop taxing local businesses out of existence. To do this, they will have to cut welfare spending. But we know Labour MPs are only interested in raising taxes to pay benefits to others.

🚨 LABOUR FIGURES ARE NOW OPENLY DISCUSSING WHETHER STARMER’S TIME IS UP One former Labour minister admitted: “It’s become clearer and clearer that he doesn’t impose his authority on government.” Another striking point: There appears to be growing acceptance inside Labour that a leadership change may now be unavoidable. The criticism goes deeper than personalities. The accusation is that Starmerism has no clear vision, no defining values and no direction — beyond reacting to crises and U-turns. Meanwhile, divisions over Brexit, leadership and Labour’s future are becoming harder to hide. Are we watching the beginning of the end for Keir Starmer?

Washington state has one of the most vibrant tech communities in the world, but it's under threat from the new anti-tech, anti-innovation, capital gains tax, passed in 2021. I was curious how tech workers felt about this tax so I visited Microsoft and Amazon (see video below). What I learned shocked me. Many employees of these companies (who receive a large portion of them compensation in the form of stock) were not even aware that Washington's legislature had passed a capital gains tax that would affect them. This was not by accident. Politicians in Olympia designed the tax to initially apply to a fairly small set of people (the threshold at which it applies is $250,000). For years they had attempted to create a widespread income tax in WA by initiative, but they were repeatedly voted down by Washingtonians. But once they found a way to open the door to this new capital gains tax (by absurdly claiming it's not an income tax, but an excise tax), they immediately set to work on making it more widespread. Bill 5335 has been introduced to modify the capital gains tax so that the threshold at which applies will drop to $15,000 (a 94% drop, massively expanding the net of people it applies to), while increasing the rate from 7% to 8.5%. The increase in rate would mean that Washingtonians would see a greater than 50% increase in their tax burden on capital gains (sale of stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies and other assets such as small businesses). When I explained these facts to the tech employees I met at Microsoft and Amazon most of them supported a repeal of the capital gains tax. We have one chance to get Washington back to its long tradition of not punishing success and welcoming the world's best and brightest to our state. This election, please vote Yes on initiative I-2109. Vote yes, Pay less.

Another day, another round of Green Party numerical blunders. When Ryan Bridge asked Marama Davidson on Herald Now exactly how many errors there were in their new tax policy, she shifted from an emphatic “just one” to “a couple” in under 30 seconds like it’s not big deal at all. It’s increasingly comical that Labour and many Kiwis still view the Greens as a credible coalition partner, given their repeated stumbles on policy direction, costings, and basic behavioural standards - all of which keep raising red flags.

I know Igboland doesn’t start from Onitsha because Asaba, Agbor and many other places are part of it too. But there’s something about crossing the Niger Bridge that can’t be explained. When you’re coming back home and you cross that bridge, a quiet wave hits you, a feeling that says, “I’m home.” Your shoulders drop, your heart softens, and no matter how far you’ve gone, you remember where you belong. And when you’re leaving, the moment you cross that same bridge, you feel it again, this time heavier. You just know you’ve truly started the journey away from home. That’s why it hurts to watch such an important bridge get worse by the day, and everyone just seems to accept it and move on😤
