Last Meeting
Guest Speaker - David Gledhill 
David conducted discussion groups and members (including 2 visitors) at each of the 5 tables were given the following question to discuss:
"Our government is short of money.  Many other countries have a wealth tax and an inheritance tax.  Should New Zealand have a wealth tax on everyone who owns money or property worth over one million dollars and an inheritance tax of 20% on all property and assets worth over $500,000?
If you agree with the idea but not the figures, what figures would you agree on? "
