Having got things admirably correct with his opinion as Attorney-General on the wretched Rotorua local body bill being promoted by Tweaker Coffey, it looked like David Parker had stumbled as Revenue Minister
The impression of a stumble was given by a Stuff headline which read Revenue Minister David Parker lashes very wealthy for being undertaxed, calls for new tax principles
But if someone is being undertaxed, very wealthy or not, shouldn’t someone at the Inland Revenue Department be hauled into the Minister’s office to explain what’s going on?
And if it turns out that the undertaxed individual is breaking the law, then the next step is clear. Prosecution is the path to be taken.
If the fault lies with the law, then the next step is clear, too, albeit on a different path. In this case, the law must be changed.
