Cast your mind back a few years Booji when National were in free-fall. Every party has the problem because most politicians are narcissistic trough-swillers who think that laws and rules are meant to be ignored by them. I don't think the Greens are in free fall, a couple of bad eggs doesn't mean th...

Is it though? Not gonna get into whataboutery, but they're hardly the only party with skeletons. Yeah but they are the only party claiming to be more woke than than the some of the left virtue signalers on this thread. Hypocrisy layered on top of bad behaviour leaves a worse taste in the mouth than...

. It seems we're moving away from what's best for NZ and more into American style politics where it's us and them. I think we’re already there…….. We've always been there to a greater or lesser degree. That was always the issue with the first past the post. Yet that was when the two major parties a...

Blood pressure is being managed through medication. It's usually in the normal to high normal range. I eat well, my issues are I also like to drink, poor sleep and stress. Sort the sleep out!!!! That messes up everything. I know. It's not the easiest thing to fix though. Yeah I was going to say "Ea...

I don't do cardio per se. I aim (and always reach) 15K-20K steps per weekday (don't track on weekends), and on my rest days from the gym I go for a brisk 6km walk. Good work AC. 15-20k steps is impressive as is a 6km brisk walk. :thumbup: Cheers. The 6K walk takes just under an hour. The steps are ...

Are you guys doing 5-6 days a week fitting in any cardio anywhere? I used to aim for 6 days a week (often only managed 4-5) but that was three days weights (split routine) and three days cardio.

Same, to help I'll spend my tax cut with my offshore sports gambling site.

Ooops! Is that why Nactnz is cancelling kids lunches? Miscalculated by half a billion…..that makes a bit of a dent in “back pocket” tax returns.

They've exploited the rich by stealing expensive clothes, now they're exploiting the poor and vulnerable. Equal opportunity exploitation.

Should have heard Swarbrick being interviewed by Hosking this morning. First time I've heard the usually smug, know it all Swarbrick sounding rattled. She kept interrupting him "Mike, Mike, Mike ..." then repeating her scripted, stock response like a scratched record.

Righto plums. You units have inspired me. All this talk of being strong and shit…… Last year I went hard (consistently) and finally saw some gains in the gym. I’m now slightly less-weak than I was previously. I’ve been training for many, many years but I’m up against some terrible genetics so it’s ...

Oh dear. Another Green Party member in trouble. This time for exploitation of immigrant labour. Apparently the Greens have known about it since 1st February but have waited until 15th March to suspend the MP following a Stuff enquiry. Green justice. Innocent as long as we can hide it from the public.

Also it could be applied to the family home in certain circumstances though Jacinda vehemently insisted that "It doesn't apply to the family home!" She probably wasn't across the details and didn't realise that in some circumstances it can but Robertson certainly would have known. To be fair on tha...

I've noticed Luxon in his 'this will help renters' has mentioned the amended bright line test a bunch of times. I'd quite like him to explain how the bright line test affects rents given it's only applied when the property is sold.... Well I think having a pseudo CGT in place should you sell within...

Yep and repeal the repeal of the CGT that's not a CGT the 10 year brightline test. That doesn't apply to the family home ... except when it does. (Another Grant Robertson scam).

And telling renters that this is for them ?

All the Govt is going is reinstating normal interest deductibility based on basic taxation principles. That the previous Govt undermined.

The cost of fixing the last Govts screw ups.

Watching Labour, the Greens and TPM moan, whinge and whine about the Govt doing everything it said it would do during the election campaign.

Someone needs to teach them that the saying is not "To the loser goes the spoils".

After a few drinks I've promised a mate I'll do a decent sized open water swim with him next Jan.

The rental income I get on my property is considered 'passive' income because I have a property management company that manages it and I am not actively involved. However every year I put it as company income in my tax return via a look through company I get a bill from ACC for self employed income...

Why do you think a CGT would be better? As someone who works in the field, and tends to be left leaning, all the research I've seen suggests they have little to no impact but cost a lot to implement. It makes for a great soundbite but that seems to be about all. It won't raise large amounts of reve...

Also moved on from Kevin Barry Do you think he's improved under the guidance of his new trainer? I haven't actually seen either of his last two wins.

I agree with the impractical nature of it. My memory is foggy, but I recall the experience of Australian system doing similar, was that it was unworkable.

I would however argue that Labour's attempted bribes with no GST on Fruit & Veg were even more impractical from an administrative point of view and have doubts how much better off anyone would've been with them.
