National leader Judith Collins is accusing the Government of flat out lying to New Zealanders about the extension of the bright-line test.

“They have lied to New Zealanders – New Zealanders just can’t trust what they are told by the Government,” she told media this morning.

[…] When asked by Newstalk ZB’s Heather du Plessis-Allan if Labour would make any changes to the bright-line test if it was re-elected, Robertson said no.

When pressed on the rate or the years of the tax he again said no.

[…] Collins this morning wasn’t holding back in her assessment of the Government’s change of heart on the issue.

“[It’s] a broken promise from Grant Robertson… it only took six months to break.”

[…]”They have taken the bright-line test and turned it into a full-scale capital gains tax.”
