Could you have an Australian Trust and Corporate Trustee could be NZ company, so you don’t pay CG, if you wish to sell?
Any Comments?

Are these reasons true for you or for your wife?

I’d take her resistance as a signal which requires your attention; it could be that you need more information about investing or finanical independence. Once you are sold, it’s easy to sell it to your partner!

Just a thought!
