NZ have 15% gst and highest income tax rate of 33% and company tax of 28%.
I'd like some of that.

....and NO Capital Gains tax.
....and no LCT on cars

The government knows what it needs to do -  but it will lose them the elections and a lot of bureaucrats will be unemployed

It's called feathering ones nest

if thats what you call it, Im not looking forward to whats next.

In all honesty I can see a move to Ireland, New Zealand, or Canada in my life. I'm increasingly dissatisfied by every single political move by either major party. It's a race to the bottom and we're all being dragged along in the mess.

I have few assets in Australia that I can't happily part with, I'm single, and in about 18 months I'll have more time than money with which to put ideas into action. I don't know why people in a position similar to mine are even thinking about staying other than they've established deeper roots than I have or they just don't care.

I've thought the same.  I had the opportunity to sell the business for good money but for better or worse I decided to hang onto it.  So I'm here for a little longer and putting up with the inefficiencies of staff who are supposed to be productive 

If I sold, I would have tried NZ.

Fair call.  Those of us with businesses here aren't so mobile but if you can, why not? Mind you, the grass isn't always greener.

I can't agree, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada all have better rainfall.
