The Panel with Lynda Hallinan and John Barnett (Part 1)

The Tax Working Group has today announced its recommendations. The least surprising thing is the long-anticipated Capital Gains Tax - which is the tax on the profit from the sale of an asset. The assets the Working Group want included are holiday homes, land, most shares and business assets, including goodwill. SKY subscribers are set for a price hike on April 1. It's an increase of 1.9%. This comes as a new offering comes into the market in the form of Spark Sport. Is there a hint of desperation in the world of pay TV? Is the bell tolling for SKY? Peter Thompson of Victoria University can provide some insight on this and how violence and humour drive TV news.
