By the way, any of you guys who are paying secondary PAYE on a second job should be applying for your personal income statement from the IRD every year, you will almost certainly be entitled to a refund since the secondary PAYE brackets are pitched quite a bit higher. Ditto goes for those who just have one job but work irregular hours or are paid irregular amounts — you will have had too much PAYE deducted because the pay rate schedule assumes you are earning the same amount every pay period. Everyone should be requesting those statements from the IRD all the time, basically.

I saw her speak here in London at a Luminaries event. She was very good, and obviously very intelligent, but I don't think she'd be great as a politician. She's very meek and quiet, and she prefaces everything with a lot of "...um"s before she talks. Maybe that's something that can be trained out of her, but at the moment she comes across as too bookish, I'd say.

Yeah I'm baffled by Norman's retirement, seeing as he was leading their charge into neoliberal milquetoast Gen Y party, which is what I assume was their electoral strategy. Metiria seems a lot more left-wing on economic stuff and is way more concerned with social issues/inequality than Norman was.

dusty posted:You mean those poor loving gays being targeted by trans-activists. What? What makes you think they're trans? QAI is a queer movement protesting the commercialisation of queerdom. I don't see how you think pink paint and a letter explaining how commercialisation and appropriation of queer culture is indistinguishable from a homophobic attack. What sort of homophobic attacks do you usually see, dusty?

Why do you have to order every candidate? I thought in STV you can order your top however many, and then the rest are ranked last equally? Is it just to prevent STV from regressing into an FPP system if everyone just puts a "1" and nothing else?

Speaking as a tax lawyer, honestly the 2 year thing doesn't change much. The IRD would definitely assume that a sale of a investment property within 2 years is taxable under the current rules (bought with the intent to resell). This is probably just to make it really obvious so (a) property speculators will include it in their returns so the IRD doesn't waste money investigating them, and (b) IRD doesn't have to go to court against idiotic taxpayers who want to disputes everything.

People involved in white-collar crime get bailouts and promotions. There are lots of tactics police can use ("I smelled pot"/"He was driving erratically"/"He resisted arrest") to either arrest or simply inconvenience people they don't like the look of.
