‘Government relaxes rules on foreign buyer ban’
https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/political/359942/government-relaxes-rules-on-foreign-buyer-ban
“Since the legislation has gone through select committees the government has acknowledged some fish hooks, that may have actually put the brakes on housing supply in Auckland.
Broadly, they apply to developers concerned about not being able to complete big projects if they can’t sell individual apartments to foreign buyers.”
“Under the new regime, overseas investors would be able to invest in new housing, particularly apartments, new rentals, and homes available to purchase under rent-to-own or shared-equity arrangements.
New Zealand First leader and deputy prime minister Winston Peters said it was a “smartening” of the policy, not a softening.”
Long story short: So after all, the government now thinks, we need foreign buyers to ‘afford’ building more housing???!!!
THIS IS NOT WHAT I VOTED FOR!!!
The population growth leading to economic growth addiction will therefore continue unabated, it is like telling mums, have more babies, we need more babies to fuel economic growth for the future, never mind finite resources.

DIRTY POLITICS AND THE REST, DOES IT ALL COME OUT NOW, AFTER THE NATS HAD TO CEASE POWER?
‘Inquiry into spying claims extended to all govt agencies’
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/359959/inquiry-into-spying-claims-extended-to-all-govt-agencies
“All government agencies will come under scrutiny as part of an inquiry into the use of the security firm, Thompson and Clark.”
“Today, Mr Hughes announced that the inquiry would now cover all government agencies.
He said he was concerned about what has surfaced in the inquiry to date and new information now available about other agencies.
The fresh material came to light in official information requests to the Ministry of Primary Industries and the Security Intelligence Service.”
Are we going to get a revelation of the kind like a ‘STASI Down Under’ version of a system operating in NZ Inc.?
