A concession from Census officials: they will have to switch from the carrot to the stick. Stats NZ is handing out food vouchers and free Warriors tickets to encourage those yet to complete their forms, to do so. So far 4.4 million people have returned their papers. Deputy Government Statistician Simon Mason told Kerre Woodham he's got no desire to prosecute people, but it may come to that. He says they will probably end up prosecuting a small group of society who continually refuse to do the

It's not a new idea. It's been around for a while and it's certainly something a number of you have been wanting. National announced over the weekend that, if elected, newly qualified nurses and midwives will receive up to $4500 per year towards their student loans, if they agree to stay working in this country for five years. The bonding scheme will also be open to nurses and midwives who have recently graduated. If you graduated last year and think you’ve missed out, not to

Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast ·

2023/04/27

Last week, in fact, this very time last week, we were speculating wildly as to whether the IRD's report on New Zealand's wealthiest individuals was going to pave the way for a capital gains tax in this country. The report came out yesterday afternoon. It just sort of sat there - there was a big ta-da and then nothing. We're an outlier as far as the rest of the wealthy nations of the world go, in that we have no capital gains tax, unless you count the bright line test, which is kind of a mini

A tax expert says the Government's wealth report covers what we already know. Inland Revenue's wealth report shows the top one percent of earners pay a median effective tax rate of 9.4 percent when including capital gains on investments. That's compared to an estimated 20 percent for "middle wealth" people. Dentons Kensington Swan tax partner Bruce Bernacchi told Kerre Woodham the wealthy earn a substantial amount from legally untaxed capital gains. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for

I understand and I totally appreciate you cannot possibly fence off every waterway in the country. Imagine you've been hiking for hours through glorious back country, to come across the crest of a hill and in the near distance spy a beautiful alpine lake surrounded by a wire fence, with all sorts of health and safety warnings. That would not be the experience you'd be after. Homeowners who have a water feature or a swimming pool in their backyard are required to comply with rigorous regulations

Is PM Chris Hipkins living in la la land? When the announcement was made that New Zealanders would have new pathways to citizenship in Australia, with citizenship now guaranteed after four years, Hipkins said he didn't think this would lead to an exodus of New Zealanders quitting the country and heading across the ditch. New Zealanders travel to Australia and live there regardless, he said. People go there for a wide variety of reasons. I don't think, he said, that guaranteed citizenship will make

2023/04/20

There's been quite a bit of chat around a report that's due to come out from the IRD that looks at 400 of the wealthiest families and individuals in New Zealand. This morning there was a speculative piece in The Spinoff suggesting that that IRD report could be paving the way for an introduction of a capital gains tax. A tax that Jacinda Ardern promised would be ruled out as long as she was Prime Minister. But she's not the PM anymore. Chris Hipkins is and he has made no such promises. He's also

A potential breath of relief for Kiwi consumers and mortgage holders has come with the release of new data. Inflation figures have come in much lower than expected, with the Consumer Price Index measuring 6.7 percent for the year to March. Although levels are still the highest since the 1990s, 6.7 is much lower than expected by bank economists, and the Reserve Bank.

National seems to have taken a leaf out of Labour's playbook in making an announcement about an announcement.

Cast your mind back to 2016/2017. The National Government was getting hammered almost daily over the number of people who had been reduced to sleeping in cars because they had nowhere else to live. For the past two winters of 2016 and 2017 marae in Auckland had opened their doors to families in desperate need of food and showers, and a good night's sleep. Housing Minister Nick Smith said at the time that record population growth in Auckland was to blame for more pressure being put on the bottom end

We've all seen it. The strain on the health system has become unendurable for so many health professionals, who have given far more than should ever have been asked of them. Some of them have been working quite frankly illegal hours covering for sick and absent colleagues doing jobs they were never meant to do, because there is nowhere else for people with diverse needs to go. They are every day dealing with frightened, angry people, who are being let down by a hospital system and the health system

Defence Minister Andrew Little said “We have been offered the opportunity to talk about whether we could or wish to participate in that pillar two [non-nuclear] aspect of it,” and "I’ve indicated we will be willing to explore it.” In the early 1980s, New Zealand walked out of the ANZUS pact on principle, rather than be an accomplice to nuclear war.
