    Did somebody say unions? I wonder if Matt McCarten is relaxed about Unite Support Services unpaid and overdue taxes? That’s assessed taxes by the way, not “potential” taxes legally avoided.

    [Stop trolling. First and last warning. Stick to the subject matter of the post – MS]

    [lprent: Moved to OpenMike as being off topic. ]

    • Richard McGrath 1.1

      Good grief. I would have thought the situation with Unite was at least partly relevant, although in their case it probably wasn’t avoidance.

      [lprent: Because the post was about

      1. ‘Taxpayers union’
      2. Overseas corporations
      3. Taxes

      If you want to make your own rules then create your own blog and your own audience. If you try it here… Well read the self-martyrdom offences in the policy. Do you have any rational questions – possibly ones related to rule making procedures on privately held blogs?

      Please note that I have less interest in litigating the meaning of what we put in our policy than I do in the creative process of writing pithy and highly offensive notes as I ban someone. ]

    Don’t normally bother to link to herald but this caught my eye

    Cancer drug giant’s tax bill less than PM’s

    Why does the government sign a deal so that Big Pharma need more corporate welfare and tax discounts, and longer patents so that big Pharma receive more profits, under TPPA?

    More robbing the poor to pay more to the rich!

    Bet that’s not mentioned on the tax payer funder Roadshow.

    • Smilin 3.1

      Its great eh the way rich think about tax .
      They are controlling the game merely by their presence and able to lie about paying tax to the govt because the govt is in the same game of lying to the country
      Then we really have a democratic economics problem
      They are both crooks
      Key is the epitome of this ,he was made by this system first highlighted by Bruce Jesson in “Behind the Mirrored Glass”way back in the 80s ,nothing has been done because all these crooks have and will continue to run the system
      Roger Douglas Bob Jones Ron Brierly and the weasel of Telecom and the Mother of all economic fuck ups, Bolger, Shipley the list goes on , the founding fathers and mothers of this corrupt system in NZ.
      Now we have this system of the multinationals and they about to snuff out our sovereignty in the TPPA and NZ will become like Britain with huge pressure caused by a govt whose only way of staying ahead of the rort is to up immigration of those whose bank accounts can swell the tax take that will continue to be bled out of us to the overseas corporate blood suckers supported by this govt
      The solution NZ First because they are the only ones who have had the balls to call it out
      It a “Highway to Hell” to quote ACDC

      Do this across com com, sfo, electoral commission and a host of other bodies that are intended to level the playing field and umpire proceedings that’s what you get left with, anything but a level field.

    For a chilling insider story on how corporate power in USA is upheld by corruption, depravity and worse …key into utube ‘Kay Griggs’ interviews.

    Kay Griggs is a whistleblower of the stature of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden…and even Dietrich Bonhoeffer

      The insane ramblings of a diseased mind, chilling to you. Just funny and sad to most normal people..

      • Chooky 8.1.1

        your descriptors of “insane ramblings” +”diseased mind” +”funny” + “sad” = a reflection on yourself and misogyny and chauvinism imo ( which is how she was treated)

        …Kay Griggs gives huge amount of credible factual detail and names
        …let people make up their own minds and view it themselves

    Free-market proves that it’s incapable of holding power to account:

    Two network sources also confirmed the unprecedented control the television networks have surrendered to Trump in a series of private negotiations, allowing him to dictate specific details about placement of cameras at his event, to ensure coverage consists primarily of a single shot of his face.
    Network officials say the ratings have borne out commercial incentives to devote their campaign coverage to largely unfiltered streams of Trump talking. Trump’s presence in the race has also been good for local television stations who reap the benefits of increased spending on advertisements. CBS CEO Les Moonves quipped that Trump “may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS, that’s all I got to say.”

    Good for business apparently. Not so good for anything else.

    Who agrees that it is significant ‘conflict of interest’ for Auckland Council to be a member of the NZ Property Council?

    ‘Democracy for developers’?

    On 31 March 2016 the Auckland Council Governing Body will be voting on whether Auckland Council should withdraw its membership of the NZ Property Council.

    In my view, it is a serious ‘conflict of interest’ for Auckland Council to be a member of the NZ Property Council.

    (Who actually represents Auckland Council at meetings of the NZ Property Council?

    To whom do they report back?

    Where are the ‘minutes’?

    Where are the ‘boundaries’ – between ‘public’ and property developers?)

    (There is an interesting story on this matter in the current print version of the NBR).

    As an Auckland Mayoral candidate I am absolutely opposed to Auckland Council and Auckland Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs) being members of private sector lobby groups such as the NZ Property Council AND the Committee for Auckland.

      Most councils are chummy with developers, its all about the money and the neverending growth model society has adopted. Long term effects on the environment and community are usually just ignored. This applies to pretty much all the subdivisions we’ve been building for the last 50 years.

  16. North 16

    Yes Yes Yes Penny !

    I don’t wish to engage in ???? about the minutiae. In principle and in proper, decent practice, it is amply clear. They cannot be so engaged. Runs the risk of people liking some other people too much and not doing their honest duty.
