    This is what this policy sounds to me: dear family, in order to keep our house we are going to sell our backyard, our garden, our fridge, our heaters, and our water pipes. And the pet must go. Selling your country is the worst, most shameful abuse of trust your government can ever do

    When you have a world wide pandemic , that's going to throw a budget into disarray. I think Labour have done well to keep things going through all of that. The repercussions of Covid are still being felt today, so for Nicola to say you can't blame Covid for 2022 is showing she doesn't understand how the economy works.

    National are not going to do anything different to Labour: "Will you get to surplus before Labour?" "We will get there at the same time." "We promise to deliver tax cuts." But at what cost? Average NZers will get between $2 and $25 per week (and that's largely for those on Working for Families benefits), but to deliver that Nats are going to turn the property speculator dial to 11! $2 means jack when house prices are inflated away and rents skyrocket. Nats never again.

      @MandySam13 Год назад

      Foreign buyers buy property all over the world. We banned them but that didn’t make a huge difference to the first home buyer market. So let’s just stop the false panic and pearl clutching. What we need is a bigger supply of housing, and an easier consent process (like David Seymour says) to get things moving. Voting TOP won’t achieve that. (Though I like what I’ve seen of Raf Manji). If the high end market gets us some extra revenue it can only help with the bottom line right now. It can always be tweaked later to increase the threshold to maybe $3Mil + which is where I personally think the line should be.

    Sorry Nicola, your tax cuts will increase spending helping inflation. It is sad that NZ's economy is based on low wage, predominately service and consumption based, high imports of most everyday items, property investing/selling, low domestic manufacturing low financial return tourism and raw product exports. The concern is, National has no solutions for major global economic, trade, supply chains, manufacturing, health uncertainties and effects of a warming planets. Since National is a great supporter of 'for profit at least cost' neoliberal economics and governance, it seems Nicola is in economicfantasy world.

    Meanwhile, under Labour we've had for the year to July net immigration of 96,000! While house building is falling. If that isn't inflationary I'll eat my hat.
    It should be blindingly obvious that more, lots more, immigrants can only with housing shortage push up rents and house prices and Inflation in general. Those will hurt the poor and middle the hardest!!! Except no one is talking about that! Not politicians, few economists (Tony Alexander is an exception), and not most media.
    Labour is best to build business? Stop making me laugh so hard. They're better at building incompetent, although often hard working of many, bureaucracy.
