When challenged with the very legitimate question "do you want to see house prices go up or down?" most politicians unpack a word salad that makes little or no sense.
They are skewered and in many cases look silly.

New Zealand has no CGT, but its tax to GDP ratio is 3% of GDP higher than in Australia. That's $90 billion extra tax than we pay here in Australia. That $7,500 a family - per annum.
You might not pay CGT but you are slugged in other areas, especially the goods & services tax
