Jacinda finally mustered up some courage with the mass rapes of the Uighurs and a few day later our seafood exports to China are mysteriously stopped!

Trade to China is open to their every whim.
China are not an honourable business partner, they are petty and use everything as leverage to control other countries going forward. Where is the free trade agreement brigade now??? Big countries do what every they like under free trade and small countries become under their thumbs.
Better and more reliable trading partners are needed!
Or will our weak politicians be remembered in history for helping the rise of Nazi style human rights abuses and camps, in China.
When NZ under David Lange stood up to the US with nuclear free Pacific the world started to notice NZ and respect us.
Likewise Helen Clark standing up to Israel with the fake NZ passports scams.
“The Reserve Bank has confirmed it will reimpose loan to value ratios (LVRS) from 1 March at 20 percent for first home buyers and 30 percent for property investors.”
Complete Dimwits!
To help get people into housing it should be 100% mortgages for first home buyers who are citizens of NZ and can meet a criteria (example graduate doctors who have good job prospects but no cash after studying for 7 years) and it should be 50% deposit needed for property investors.
There needs to be a special status with more taxes for those who are ‘professionals’ in property, aka have more than 10 houses. These people (and there are not too many of them) would have to pay a stamp duty on housing they buy and capital gains on properties they sell.
Stamp duty and taxes to pay for non resident investors in property in NZ.
Remember people, we actually need green spaces for fresh air, food and mental health.
We managed to house the homeless during Covid, so we have the houses, but in future, will we have the food?????
With few people coming or leaving NZ, NZ economy is booming with internal money flows. So the economy does not require constant immigration but more importantly encouraging people to invest and buy goods in NZ who are already here and don’t need shipping in the age of Covid.
‘Stupid and inconsistent’: Urban sprawl set to swallow 31,000 hectares of prime land

Fletchers and Lord Sleepyhead both are agitating for more urban sprawl onto farm land because you make substantial profits from unzoned land into housing, than zoned land ready to build housing. Just like the SHA does not work, just creates a massive mess for communities going forward.
We have sewerage pouring into our seas and algae bloom in our rivers this means our local and central government are both in breach of the TOW. This is not good and needs to be sorted as does foreigners bottling water for zip. The water issue has been long standing and to say no one owns the water but local councils can allocate permits for people to take it is also at odds with no one owns the water rhetoric. The current water issues have further highlighted the inequalities in resource allocation and control over important strategic assets, namely how the wealthy are taking much more than their fair share.
