Bet you any money Nick Smith and Key will go into standard practice denial mode and say that is just the lawyers opinion, like Key did with Dr Mike Joy over water pollution and denied the science.

1424964 2016-08-25 22:39:00 Selling property to overseas buyers is a significant NZ "export". It brings in money and boosts the economy. In addition it inflates property prices and makes existing property owners feel like millionaires. They buy new cars, spend at restaurants, get their poodles clipped more regularly, etc, and give the economy another boost.

These good times make gullible people think John Key is a great leader...

...but it's all a house of cards. You can't export land forever, just as you can't sell off state assets forever.

A great leader would do something to make homes affordable to ordinary people. They would also do something about child poverty, education expenses, social exclusion, etc

That's why the present government's aspiring standard for improving water quality is " Wade able" :devil

I wonder if thats one of the reasons Nats are doing nothing about this . Would the economy suffer without that money coming in ?
All these denials of the bleedin obvious will really hurt Nats in the next election .

The only problem is we’ll be Tenants in our Own Country before the next election, but maybe that’s part of Key’s Game Plan. :mad:
