From Morning Report, 7:30 am on 26 February 2019

The Prime Minister appears to be preparing the way for compromises on a Capital Gains Tax in negotiations with key player, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters. At her post-Cabinet press conference on Monday, Jacinda Ardern insisted that small businesses and farming would be top of her mind when assessing options for a tax. The impact of a capital gains tax on small business and farming is likely to be a key concern for New Zealand First.
