1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Together do for Sellen, Well, I don't know what's worse

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: for Labor the fact that they've announced a capital gains

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: tax policy again today or the fact that someone leked

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: it and forced them to announce it in a rush Now.

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it does suck for them that somebody

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: eleked it first, because it means that they were so

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: unprepared that they had to rush job announce it in

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: an email at three minutes past five this morning, and

9
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: then Chippy had to cancel his morning radio interviews so

10
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 1: that he didn't have to answer questions about this until

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: he was ready, And then they had to get ready

12
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: and call themselves a rush job press conference for half

13
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: past ten, where they all looked furious and they stumbled

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: over their words. Honestly, you haven't seen such a sad

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: lineup of people announcing something they're proud of. This is

16
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: the second policy announcement that Labor has managed to stuff

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: up in just about a week's a week's time, a

18
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: week's duration, which hardly looks convincing, does it. But then

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: it also sucks for them that this is the policy

20
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: that they're taking to the election. Because I don't care

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: what the Baltwey and Wellington tells us, I do not

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: believe that a majority of New Zealanders want a capital

23
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: gains tax, no matter how how many times Labor pictures it,

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: no matter how many times they try to convince us

25
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: that everyone else wants it. Why don't you want it?

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: And you know I'm right when I say this, because

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: look at how Labour's selling this today. Even they sound

28
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: like they're not so sure that we want a CGT,

29
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: They've double policied it today. They've told us what they're

30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: going to spend the money on, which is three free

31
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: GP visits a year for us, basically to try to

32
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: sell it to us, basically to try to convince us

33
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: that a CGT is good for us. And also, just

34
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: look at how gleeful the National Party sound. They know

35
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: that this made twenty twenty six just a little bit

36
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: more likely for them. What I now want to know, though,

37
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: is who leak this to the media. Was it someone

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: who was just really excited that they knew something so

39
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: they lead it to the media and blew up their

40
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: own parties big announcement, or was it someone who disagrees

41
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: with Labor and wanted to blow up their own parties

42
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: big announcement either way, They've just made an unconvincing policy

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: even less convincing. Today for more from Heather Duplessy Allen Drive,
