An anonymous lobby group
A group called Common Ground Aotearoa has launched, to advocate that rates should be based on land value, not capital value.
The weird thing is they are an anonymous lobby group. Their website doesn’t list a single name of who they are.
How do they hope to be taken seriously when they have no actual people listed.
I actually agree with the policy proposition. I think taxing just land, rather than capital value, would be good for the housing market. But they’re not going to have any real impact on the political process if they remain anonymous.
