Agree 100% Gary, we have friends who can Invest easily the required amount $1.5mil in NZ for cat. 2 but has not been in business for 3 years, he is only a fully qualified Geological Scientist currently head Scientist for a large Oil company in the Thailand Gulf. He is English, his wife of over 20years is Thai.

His only other option appears to be Cat 1 $10mil required to be lodged with the NZ Govt. which is untenable and impossible for him to obtain.

Has owned a lifstyle block here for 8 years and proposes to contract out his talents, which are right up this Govts. alley mining wise.:annoyed::annoyed:

Hope they change it one day.

1106975 2010-06-06 00:46:00 So you prefer to allow spongers to come in and use our tax money to support their lifestyle? gary67 (56)

Faulty logic there Gary. "Prefering spongers to come in" is not a corollary of disliking or being unhappy with the idea of buying residency/citizenship.

No Prefect has a very warped logic and that would probably be OK with him

1106979 2010-06-06 01:57:00 I've got an idea - anyone who didn't like the tax cuts leave the country so we can make more places for people that would. And I had to walk through a whole lot of protesters the other day and they can all go to the Gaza strip on the next available aid boat. Twelvevolts (5457)
1106980 2010-06-06 02:21:00 Better to close Wellington and convert the houses to kindling which could be sold off to shivering southerners, and the proceeds used to make the National cycleway a full 4 lanes for it's entire 1.723 KM length. With that sort of economic stimulus we could all live the life of Reilly. R2x1 (4628)
1106981 2010-06-06 02:33:00 No need to "close Wellington and convert the houses to kindling". The much awaited and forecasted next big earthquake will do that at absolutely positively no cost to the rest of the country.... johcar (6283)
