Sir Michael Cullen's tax bombshell has some food for thought in itROSS GIBLIN/STUFF Sir Michael Cullen's speech actually made a great deal of sense. OPINION Sir Michael Cullen lacks the common touch and putting him in charge of the Tax Working Group was never going to be a recipe for harmony. LAWRENCE SMITH/STUFF Sir Michael Cullen says Kiwis have an almost "atavistic" attitude to tax. To be clear, Cullen did not advocate for a wealth tax, only saying it was on the table. But a wealth tax could be a viable alternative to a broader capital gains tax, which critics argue tend to be complex and costly to administer.
