alwyn 14.1.2.1.1 I think it is a desperate attempt by Robertson to try and set up the RBNZ as the people who cop the blame for the shambles that this Government has been making of the housing market for the last three and a half years. I suspect it will backfire on him (Robertson). Orr is far to smart to allow Robertson to get away with such a transparent attempt to pass the parcel.

It has never ceased to surprise me that those who profit at the expense of others are so unaware of the harm suffered by those they exploit, and are so convinced that they have a right to do the exploiting and that their profit is a proper and justifiable reward ... 4 days ago The government’s recent housing package may work; will it do enough? Trick Question: Does New Zealand have a capital gains tax on housing? If you ask the Prime Minister she will say not. It is true that her government ...

Treetop 6 I have been comparing the leadership of Trump (US) and Johnson (UK). Johnson got a Brexit deal over the line and he has not been weak in enforcing lockdowns. Trump is anti lockdown and has not signed a major new trade deal. For 2022 I want the world to have control over Covid – 19 and for there to be success with vaccines to combat the virus and/or a treatment for those who do not vaccinate. aom 6.1 The statement Boris Johnson, "… has ...

Here are a few excerpts from the article that is, in xanthes opinion " total crap!" IMHO these excerpts indicate the article is not total crap. On masks, lockdown, managed isolation and a centralised Public Health Agency, he has lobbied for new and more innovative measures to fight Covid-19 and ultimately succeeded in getting the Government on-side. Perhaps his greatest achievement, however, was convincing the Government to go for elimination. " It was so easy to turn the tap off. They finall...

He said they may be concerned that an "anonymous lynch mob will turn up online and make their lives a misery". He told the BBC: "I very much fear for the younger generation of writers." The 66-year-old said h...

Its sweet. I Got here 3/9 and all okay, so far. The area is pretty depressed and ripe for some government intervention investment, but I guess in a relatively isolated small community of 5000, its easier to pay the benefit than do the hard work. Personally its been a fantastic move. My house is on a 1/4 acre section, all paid for, so feel blessed I only have to pay utilities and rates (even if the $3600pa is way more than in Hamilton). Still pinch myself a couple of times a day, like when out o...
