But now it’s like someone is standing behind with a gun pointed to you, do you dare to step back?”
David White Eason Diao is a 17-year-old New Zealand citizen, but both his parents are overstayers. His father died and his mother faces deportation. Thousands of people live in Aotearoa illegally, surviving in a shadow world of cash jobs, without benefits or healthcare. In part two of a three-part series going inside the world of overstayers, National Correspondent Steve Kilgallon examines what keeps them here. A few days before Eason Diao’s 17th birthday, his father, a 62-year-old house painter named Chuanjin Diao, fell from a roof and died. Next month, on his 18th birthday, there’s a very real possibility Diao’s mother, Xianglan Hao, could be deported to her native China.
Waitai brought common sense approach to policing and parliament 12 May 2021 08:39 AM Photo: Whanganui Online Facebook. A former parliamentary colleague say the late Rana Waitai set a great example for others to follow. Mr Waitai died on Saturday in Whanganui aged 79.

Hi Pat. I think that ChCh is a bad example. Since the earthquake the city has spread out hugely to the west, north west and south west. In the east of course, which has historically been lower cost housing, its just one huge barren landscape in many areas. The whole market is totally distorted. The new dwellings are all of a certain type. Flashy, expensive and not really good rental material. So, I would strongly disagree that supply has increased in the rental market. Agree with you re excess liquidity, along with interest rates sub 3% and the wrong incentives (lack of Capital Gains Tax).
