      Didnt she get involved in one of Slaters ‘gaggle of voices’ that predictably failed.
      Likely she was a shadow author on whaleoil anyway over the last few years, but last week bankruptcy came calling to WO and she had to scatter…
      
      How did it all turn out for her Pacific Fiduciaries ?

      back when KK featured in the Casey Enquiry this came to light
      
      ” Ms Odgers informed the inquiry[she was never interviewed so must have been emailed questions] that she passed the email of 5 October 2011 to a trusted “intermediary” for advice and that person eventually passed it to the Prime Minister’s office. Ms Odgers’ concerns in doing so were expressed by her as “purely political”.
      
      Who would that ‘trusted intermediary’ be , someone who could easily send something to the PM [Key}

        Especially, if he’s of the vintage I think he is, when Labour leaders of old would give interviewers ‘POW!’, ‘BOFF!’, ‘KAPOW!’ and ‘THWAK!!!!’

        Let’s face it, she spouted answers without thinking (because she can’t think) and in the process lied yet again.

  WTF? Her article TWG Review – The “Kiwi Way of Life” seems to be pro-CGT?!
  
  Here’s one little oversight: owning a house in Auckland doesn’t make someone ‘rich’, because it’s not money they can spend.
  
  ‘Gains’ really are just inflation: a house is the value of a similar house.
  
  The only people really making money out of property are developers and speculators, and both those groups have to pay tax on their profits anyway.

    Don’t bother reading Cactus Kate if you are looking for someone to dutifully regurgitate party talking points. She also speaks well of Martyn Bradbury.
    
    On the other hand if you enjoy reading the output of a determined and unusually thoughtful iconoclast, you now know where to go.

Why did she remove her previous blog, and then try and get the National Library to remove copies of her website from the archives?

For the newbies around here, Cactus and WhaleOil are old mates, and you can tell a lot about people by the company they keep.

  Because I think her commentary then was not like what her employers or clients (or potential ones) would like to see. So if she could improve her prospects then potential criticism for wanting to remove material cannot stand in the way.
  I mentioned many years ago on the old newsgroups that freedom of speech is constrained by what employers or clients would think. The only ones exempt are the retired and the wealthy and even the wealthy are constrained unless ‘retired’ from doing deals or making more money.

Welcome back CK. We need many more like you to stick it to the Lefties.

But mark my words. IMHO the only parts of the TWG that will get enacted are residential rental property and possibly direct share ownership. They can be justified by kicking the rich pricks.

Winston will kick farms and small business into touch to support rentals and shares.

Baches will be exempt as they often held long term and past to next generation so wont realise much tax and with 250K will be owned by Lab/Green supporters.

KiwiSaver with 2.9M members will be exempt. The only problem is that those with direct share portfolios might sell and transfer to a KS fund to avoid CGT.

In addition those over or near 65 can access their KS to add or withdraw so its like a on call savings account. I checked with my KS fund manager when I hit 65 and they said no problems. Just give a few days notice and you can take out what you want.

So far have been adding not with drawing but good to know its there as a back stop cash fund earning 5/6% after fees and tax.

Cactus Kate had very little success or ability to stick it to Cullen or anyone else back in the 2000s.

I don’t see why that should suddenly change now, especially when her blog seems to be in favour of a CGT, because it would create more job opportunities for her?

Thank fuck someon’s got a take on the 2nd incarnation of Cullen and his drive to “tax the Rich Pricks.” Didn’t work twenty years ago; we wage earners who suddenly fell into the Rich Prick category all fled the country and savvy BabyBoomers put it in Trusts.
Anyone else noticed how Cullen has popped up to promote CGT and looks like a Santa who’s recently had both chemo and his knob sucked?

Is anybody else troubled by the name she’s chosen for her blog? Efficient way to sabotage a vast proportion of the potential readership from the moment the page is first loaded.

  Her old blog had the same name; it was just in smaller type. It was because she had moved to Asia (well, Kong Kong).

    Thank you. An in-joke that possibly needs made more obvious on her blog. I now feel comfortable returning to actually read the blog.

      I have now read it, and like what I see, other than still thinking the blogs title needs an obvious explanation of its ironic meaning.

Always enjoyed CK’s acerbic comments when NBR was free to air.

Still the horniest thing on the bloggosphere

Welcome back Cactus Kate. Always a sensible and often delightful read.

She must be filling the void left by Cameron Slater then?

“Cathy Odgers is a New Zealand-born, Hong Kong-based former blogger and lawyer who is best known for running a smear campaign against the head of the New Zealand Serious Fraud Office.”

  “Odgers also helped plan a campaign against members of the Maritime Union of New Zealand during the 2011 Ports of Auckland industrial dispute in which port management leaked a union member’s personnel file.”
  
  Funny how the same National shills running down Cam for this sort of thing yesterday think it is wonderful today. Fickle bunch.
  
  Dog tucker.

That is a good blog on CGT. I am not sure how Jacinda and Sir Michael kept straight faces tonight on the TVNZ news justifying capital gains exemptions for Iwi. JA has spent the week talking about the need for a fair tax system and as Cathy says $50 billion of race based assets exempt for starters.

Who would use the term “alot” instead of “ a lot” and expect to be taken seriously?

  There’s seven periods with Mr Gormsby. Not the programme, just the boredom it sweats from the plaid cardigan.

Kate will be great, she will bring a blowtorch to Cindy’s marshmellow knickers pillow fight. Cindy is losing it over Cullen’s CGT. Perfect. Just listen to the silly bint being interviewed, I’d get better answers by swinging the cat by its tail in a small room hitting its head on each wall. Who the fuck voted for that vacuous airhead?
