So how do you propose to fix it?

Labour wasn't "smart" to leave out the family home. They just knew that it isn't politically tenable for a NZ party to go against the property market. Even though they know that is exactly what we need.

I don't see the difference myself. And one solution is to make your primary residence exempt, and perhaps a lower rate for farm land.
