This is all true. The Auckland housing market may have calmed down - for now - but Wellington's hasn't. Every dollar house prices rise makes it that much harder for people to own their own home. Taxing capital gain is for wimps. Let's kill capital gain entirely.

Dame Margaret Clark - one of @VicUniWgtn ‘s greatest treasures - says the Vic name change proposal is “unimaginative and silly” & “will be very costly”. There’s no support for this scheme. #stickwithvic cc @chrishipkins @cjsbishop @SpeakerTrevor @AretiMetuamate @patrickgowernz

@GeoffMcLay1 @VicUniWgtn @GrantGuilford @grantrobertson1 @justin_lester @patrickgowernz I have huge confidence in Wellington and our place in the world. I don’t need to support a name-change to prove that. This is a great city and Vic is a great university with a name that thousands of students and alumni want to keep #stickwithvic

David Farrar @dpfdpf has a post on the Vic name change -comments on "fairly underwhelming" research & says minister should refuse to change name until university shows evidence of support from staff, current & former students. Petition against at 3400... https://t.co/qFCJYH2bli .

Students at Victoria University currently wait on average for four weeks to see a counsellor, meanwhile the Vice Chancellor wants to spend $960,000 on taking a word out of the University's name...

What I'm constantly surprised by is how little anyone question the reputational *loss* to Victoria University & how long that'll take to rebuild. When the uni rebrands, the last ~100yrs of journal articles which note affiliations as Victoria University of Wellington don't change.

Last Vic name tweet of the night I promise: #stickwithvic petition just cracked 3000 people - in 5 days. Remember when the university claimed it had “strong support” or people just didn’t care? Cc @grantrobertson1 @justin_lester @cjsbishop @SpeakerTrevor

Also, I don’t understand why the Uni would want to ditch 120 years of heritage and alumni fondness for brand “Vic” just to recruit a few confused international students and play the rankings game. This is the tertiary education strategy gone mad! #3rdgenerationalum #stickwithvic
