New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854
I don’t know who to credit this to but the sentiment & message is so important as we head into November & the elections.
Please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bronwyn Hayward@bmhayward.bsky.social · 2d agoThese integrity reforms from Duncan Webb are a really important start and it would be great to have champions from all NZ political parties push this forward. NO matter who wins the election unless New Zealand democracy is fixed, we all lose www.linkedin.com/pulse/labour...
#nzpol " I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors." Well, well, well.

no taxes? I’d rather NZ political parties dealt with the fact we have 1) NO rules around lobbying 2) NO disclosure of targeted digital campaigns 3) NO limits on party donations
Appreciate this from Lianne Dalziel, particularly the difference between them and an actual union org, and a reminder of their early effective action against smokefree lobby orgs: "It is important to remember that this is a product that kills when used as intended" newsroom.co.nz/2026/09/30/t...
Why I laughed when I was sounded out for a seat on the Taxpayers' Union board
Comment: Sunlight is the best disinfectant and that is what Nicky Hager has exposed the work of the Taxpayers’ Union to, says Lianne Dalziel

This is fantastic news.
Kay in the End Times 🏳️🌈 💗💜💙📚@jennykaynz.bsky.social · last wk.Election 2026: Labour will abolish ratepayer roll, axing extra votes of landlords, holiday home owners ending an undemocratic rule. Being a landlord shouldn't give someone more voting rights. #NZpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
Always worth a reminder of what investing in the country looks like.
Love this 🩷 lots of positive news despite the people currently doing the worst job of running our country.

I remember vividly reading a comic book telling their story (maybe late 80s?) and being deeply affected. So good to see the success now and them crowned bird of the year. Next year KAKĪ! 🩷🖤

The Government's top law officer warned that if ministers blocked Mike Smith's Fonterra lawsuit, the next case would target the Crown directly. She's been proven right, reports Jonathan Milne.

Malcolm RF 💚🇳🇿@p-no-nwa.bsky.social · 2w agoBreaking news via RNZ: Woolworths are closing their customer care centre, 120 jobs going back to Australia. This will save them $4 million a year. Reminder: they earn an *extra* (over and above normal margins) million dollars a day in the NZ market. #nzpol
I’ve opened this up for all. Includes video, analysis, charts, tables and lots of fun chat about accrual accounting and cranes. #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/fiscal-dra...
‘Fiscal drag’ + ‘sinking lid’ = early(er) surpluses
Treasury forecasts lower Government deficits & borrowing in PREFU because inflation pumped up nominal incomes & spending, which boosted taxes; Sinking lid on investment & spending ‘improve’ books too

Great response to the '9 taxes' campaign. This is (some of) what prime minister Luxon's government has done.
Matt Whitehead@mjwhitehead.bsky.social · 2w agoCausing rates rises by scuppering three waters? Tax increase. Raising ACC levies Instituting new development contributions Increased the trustee tax rate Digital services tax Goods Management levies new Food Act levies New Companies Office and NZBN levies Increase to gas levy Increased FENZ levy
@chewienz.bsky.social puts the final argument on #CapitalFlight from #WealthTax perfectly. They DON'T contribute. "Drive them to the airport." #nzpol (add to: Norway's wealth tax INCREASED. They EAT tax - in "deductions". Their "philanthropy" is 75% paid by OUR taxes, forcing WHERE tax is spent.)
I've only just begun following. Much-appreciated easy way to know which businesses to avoid choosing to spend with. (the reality is there are more sizable donations flowing in directions I dislike) 💚 I would like a government led by the Pāti Kākāriki, please 🙏🏾💚
NZ Election Donations@nzelectiondonation.bsky.social · 4w agoADMIN: There were quite a few newcomers to this account yesterday so I've done a bit of tidying up: - Posts going forward will be plain text without banners for consistency and to reduce the height of each post - To reduce post noise, a limit of 3 posts per 30 minutes has been added
"... Prime Minister Luxon's "cry me a river" comment was recorded in Hansard. If one of your staff is discussing exchanges in Parliament with a guest then it's a reasonable expectation that they would have the written record open to refer to. In an election year this is more crucial than ever..."
