A capital gains tax is a no-brainer, according to a former Labour Party leader. The topic is understood to be on the agenda at the party's conference in Christchurch this weekend, with members deciding whether to continue work on the proposal. David Cunliffe told Mike Hosking he believes most in the party would be keen on the tax.
