If I'm correct in saying it's likely Labour will bring in a capital gains tax
00:00:03
in the next election. So do you think a capital gains tax would be a good thing for New Zealand?
00:00:08
>> Oh you that's a that's a tough question that one. We have not released our
00:00:12
policy yet Henry. >> Well what about you personally? Do you think that a capital gains tax will
00:00:17
begin? >> Sound Jack T. I am a supporter of a of a fairer tax system and I'll be putting
00:00:23
that view over the next few weeks. Would you think it would get a bit complicated
00:00:26
cuz a lot of people on the right say capital gains tax would complicate the tax system.
00:00:30
>> Well, that's what they will always say, but our job will be to make it simple
00:00:34
and easy for the country to understand because you know they're running out of
00:00:38
ammunition. The right, you see. So, so that you know what they're doing. Oh,

all they're all maniacs. They're like terrorists, right? Chloe Swick in an interview said

something like, "With a capital gains tax, we're going to end poverty and
00:00:54
shrink wealth gaps." Which ending poverty with a tax is not that realistic. But if we were being a bit
00:01:00
realistic, what would you hope to achieve if you brought in a capital gains tax?
00:01:03
>> Oh, you I think it Well, you're very cunning today. We're back on capital
00:01:08
gains again. I've already told you. >> This last one, Henry, Henry, you really
00:01:14
really That just about got me there. >> How did he do, Willie, Jackson? Very
00:01:18
good. Nine out of 10. Only you. I would have given you 10, but you irritated me.
00:01:21
You kept You kept coming back to that capital game. >> There's always room for improvement.
