This government doesn’t give a shit about facts or evidence. #nzpol

Can we find an economist who backs Nicola Willis’s CGT stance? Not easily, no

The finance minister reckons a capital gains tax would discourage business investment. We went in search of someone who would back her innovative take.

An interview with ANZ CEO Antonia Watson, "The tax should be levied "once you've got the money in the bank," she said." But why push now? The NZ IRD says you can't claim for depreciation on land or buildings, but if the law was drafted so,could you claim CGT rebate with falling land prices? #nzpol

I feel I owe you all an apology. In attempting to support y’all to make epic SC submissions I omitted to cover ‘frolicking in floodwaters to Kora, while slaying the committee with irrefutable arguments’. Sorry about that. #nzpol

This is absolute madness. Carbon capture and storage has failed time and again. Labour has slashed reliable green programmes, to pour vast sums of our money into a complete crock. The only possible explanation is lobbying by fossil fuel companies.🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Labour to commit almost £22bn to fund carbon capture and storage projects

Investment will fund two CCS clusters – but environmental campaigners have criticised plans

Luxon said the government wanted to get better at the response to these type of events.

"What we've seen recently with the review of the North Island weather events, about what else we can do to strengthen NEMA for example, and I think those are conversations that have been happening, actually just in recent weeks."

Luxon said the rain events in Otago were still going on.

"What's important is the response right now and that's about making sure the council, who are doing a great job, our first responders, Civil Defence, who are doing a great job, MInister MItchell, very proactively got down - he saw the red weather warning and actually got down to Dunedin, I think, yesterday and has been there on the ground.

"But right now, our advice is, we'll worry about the recovery, but what we've really got to focus on right now is the response and that means actually making sure people are safe. We still have

Google says it will stop linking to New Zealand news if proposed new law passed

Google said on Friday it will stop linking to New Zealand news articles and ditch the agreements it has with local news organisations, if the country’s government goes ahead with a law to force tech giants to pay a fair price for content that appears on their feeds.
