#BHN No more teacher only days | Kainga Ora cuts | The "time has arrived" for a capital gains taxDescription
Associate Education Minister David Seymour says there will be no more teacher-only days during term time and schools will need to implement a truancy plan to tackle what the Act leader calls the country’s “truancy crisis”.
Over 300 Kāinga Ora jobs are on the chopping block as the public housing agency moves into another round of re-structuring.
ANZ boss Antonia Watson says the "time has arrived" for a capital gains tax. She qualified her comments with a warning about the compliance costs of introducing such a tax, and she made it clear she was opposed to any tax on unrealised gains. But her intervention adds another voice in a now growing chorus of influential New Zealanders calling for a capital gains or wealth tax.
