LAQC changes show amazing arrogance and sloppiness: Labour

Labour supported the Taxation (GST and Remedial Matters) Bill through its first and second reading but has now withdrawn its support, Nash said.

"The LAQC changes have been introduced through the 70-page Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) which was only tabled by Peter Dunne on Wednesday [December 8]. SOPs are normally used to make very minor amendments and improvements, not generally to introduce substantial new legislation like this one."

"It contains a number of changes to tax legislation that impact upon a lot of people and it is simply not right that Peter Dunne can arrogantly introduce it without any consultation. It is outrageous," Nash said.

He said the changes were of particular significance to those with rental properties.
