Labour's CGT policy has been announced. I was on TVNZ on 5 May discussing it with Bernard Hickey. My view: I support a CGT in principle. But this one has serious flaws. Thread 🧵

Flaw 3: Flat 28% rate — regressive, not progressive. Earn $50k, make a $50k gain? 28%. Earn $500k, make a $50k gain? Also 28%. Tax should reflect your marginal rate. Australia does this. It's not complicated.
