Labour has announced what some are describing a “watered down” version of a Capital Gains Tax. This targeted CGT would affect profit made after July 2027 from selling a commercial or residential property, excluding the family home. Leader Chris Hipkins promises nine out of 10 Kiwis won’t pay tax on what they own, and it’ll allow everyone to get three free doctors visits a year. On the flip side, National’s calling it an “attack on investment and savings” - with Finance Minister Nicola Willis saying it would “put New Zealand’s economic recovery at risk”. Today on The Front Page, Infometrics economist Brad Olsen is with us to dive into the details of Labour’s latest pitch to the public.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's unclear how much the Labour government will raise, from its just announced new capital gains tax. The targeted tax would apply to profit made from selling commercial or residential property, to raise funds for universal free doctors visitors. The family home, farms, KiwiSaver, shares, business assets, inheritances, and personal items will be exempt. Infometrics Principal Economist Brad Olsen told Ryan Bridge the announcement doesn't specify how much the tax is likely to raise. He says it's hard to assess based on the information whether the tax would raise millions, hundreds of millions, or billions of dollars of revenue over any time period.

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: We need to talk about how the Reserve Bank stuffed up

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Now, we need to talk about the Reserve Bank's excuses for how it completely stuffed up its job and let inflation get away on it during Covid. We spoke about this on the show yesterday, it's done the review and it says, quote, - "in hindsight, an earlier and more aggressive tightening might have reduced inflation sooner." Yeah. Really, Sherlock? But this would have been difficult given the data available at the time. Now, basically what they're saying is: yeah, we could have done better if we could see what was happening at the time, but we couldn't see what was happening at the time. Which is a crock, isn't it? Because there were people who could see at the time what was happening, and they said so. They said it publicly, they said the Reserve Bank needs to start tightening up - in some cases, months, if not even more than a year, before they did. I mean, the New Zealand Initiative first identified that Covid could cause inflation in April 2022 - that's a year and a half before the Reserve Bank started tightening. Brad Olsen called on them to start lifting the OCR in July 2021, that's about three months before they started. They started in October 2021. Now, that's good on them for - at that point - starting to move, but they were doing it. They were pumping the brake ever so slightly while still pushing the accelerator in a big way, because they did not stop pumping the economy and they kept their cheap money for banks program going all the while. In February 2022, the following year, the New Zealand Initiative was warning them and saying - hey, listen, this inflation is a thing here. But that lending continued, that cheap money to the banks continued all the way through to December 2022. When it stopped, inflation was already at 7.2 percent, which is nutso. Now, to be fair to the Reserve Bank, it wasn't just their fault. Grant Robertson was doing a fair bit, right? He was spending like crazy, and even though he was warned by Treasury, he just kept on spending too. But that doesn't exonerate the Reserve Bank, it just makes their job harder. But they cannot pretend that they didn't see what was happening, because others did see what was happening, and they needed to see what was happening - because that is what they are paid for.

Auckland is down by 1.2%, while Queenstown and Invercargill continue to rise by 2.4% and 1.2% respectively. The average price is now 13.1% cheaper than the artificial Covid peak in 2021. Brad Olsen, Infometrics' Principal Economist, told Mike Hosking with about half a year's worth of sales currently on the market, there's a lot of supply. On the flip side, he says there aren't as many buyers, with employment uncertainty and the hit many people's KiwiSavers took earlier in the year influencing buying habits.

Today we continue our mini-series called the FreshEd Questionnaire. I've been asking guests a set of standard questions after each interview. These questions focus on some of the hottest topics in education in today. For the next few weeks, we'll mash up the answers to each question and put them into single episodes. For today's episode we focus on Artificial Intelligence. It seems every day I read a new article on how AI is transforming teaching, learning, and research. The college essay is dead, I hear. So too is peer review. I hear edtech gurus shouting that the very purpose of higher education is undermined when GenAI can be a tutor, therapist, research assistant, and writer all in one. So, I wanted to find out from academics and researchers themselves what they think. I asked the following question: how are you managing Generative AI in your research and teaching? Here's what they had to say. Guests include: Rakesh Rajani, Lynn Paine, Laura Chávez-Moreno, Augustina Paglayan, Xavier Dumay, Daniela Romero, Tore Bernt Sorensen, Horward Gardner, Paula Mantilla-Blanco, Gustavo Fischman, Sara Ruto, Brad Olsen, Stephanie Kim, Tim Jackson, and Katie Anderson-Levitt. https://freshedpodcast.com/394-questionnaire/ -- Get in touch!

Recent data shows there were 27,850 fewer jobs in New Zealand in June compared to the year before, and young Kiwis are being hit hard by a tightening labour market. Over 12,000 of those lost jobs came from the construction sector, manufacturing lost 5850 jobs, professional, scientific and technical services lost 5150 jobs and admin and support services lost 4860 jobs. Infometrics principal economist Brad Olsen explains what's behind this change. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If our economy is in recovery, why is the supermarket checkout still so brutal? Listen in on our chat with Brad Olsen, Principal Economist at Infometrics. Brad breaks down why New Zealanders are still facing uncomfortable inflation, despite a gradual economic comeback—and why attractive interest rates aren’t luring buyers into the housing market. Are investors becoming ‘numb’ to world events after years of outlandish headlines? What’s the latest on those infamous tariffs? Why do the US markets seem "unkillable" despite dire predictions? Plus, Brad says Kiwi investors have started actively scrutinizing boards and executive strategies, and increasingly turning to emerging alternative sectors like AI and crypto.

Recently, the Ark of the Covenant was mentioned in the news as a declassified CIA document that claimed during a "remote viewing" session, an agent knew the location of the ancient artifact. The Ark of the Covenant was a chest that carried the Ten Commandments or the higher law of Moses. It has been reported that the Ark may have been more than just a container. It was quite possibly a machine that could communicate with non-human intelligence or a weapon capable of using low frequencies to bring down buildings. With advanced technologies being developed, the walls of historical silence are beginning to crack as we can better unravel the mysteries beneath our feet. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com), Clyde Lewis talks with Brad Olsen about PYRAMIDION.
