I would think an RMA holiday has some merit. I just wonder how to explain the tradeoffs to my 7 year old.

You may have seen this already from Jack Black.

I think the 100 per cent depreciation for capital investment is rather a
good idea (as a temporary incentive). But then, I’m no accountant.

Another idea to stimulate growth would be via investment in the energy
generation infrastructure. I’m keen on the idea of an ‘RMA holiday’ for
low-impact renewables such as wind, marine, geothermal, and solar (but
not hydro), i.e. only requiring permission from immediate neighbours
rather than the whole RMA process.

Although, as a Green voter, you might not be so keen on that idea!
(Note: the Greens will probably get my vote too this election.)

Always interesting to read your ideas…

Cheers,
David
