Why are property investors and landlords benefiting so much more than other Kiwi. Greed? Corruption? I didn't realise how greedy and corrupt NZ was until now. The rich get richer and the kids lose hope.
You want corruption come to Aussie, where my Australian husband is suing 6 MPs and 47 public servants to hide their corruption in Png where he runs a business.Jacinda knew all about this and did nothing to help the Kiwi, me.
@@richsmith3300Yes unfortunately for the last 30 years; property has been seen as the safest investment in NZ. So most MP’s have their money tied up in property, that’s why that last Labour government were so useless at addressing the property crisis, they didn’t want to lose out too much themselves.
@@danieleyre8913 The last Labour government oversaw the highest number of private and public houses built since the 1970s. It is a statistical fact that house construction in Auckland outpaced population growth under this last Labour government. Labour also introduced tax laws to reduce the tax deduction against interest payments for landlords, and extended the Brightline Test to 10 years. National immediately undid these tax changes, halted all public housing construction, and are in the process of stopping multi unit developments on existing sections. This is obviously is a cynical move to create more housing scarcity to drive up rents and house prices. The only Party that is useless at addressing the property crisis has always been National. The Party of Landlords so no surprises there.
They are, they have advised against or highlighted the negative impact of some of the Governments policies, unfortunately Luxon had dismissed advise from the State Service and the private sector. This is what economic vandalism looks like.

@maxwellsmith80 the only thing I have ever had in my life which has increased in value is my home.

I am very concerned with the cutting of funding to groups like Stand Tu Maia. A group that helps save kids from violent homes and prevents them from becoming future criminals.

Treasury warned Robbo about the consequences of borrowing and mobey printing; inflation, inequality and recession, but he did it anyway, in excess of what was needed to support economy. Lockdowns, subsidy and low interest rates should have been kept to minimum, not maximum. Now we have the hangover to deal with, and govt is doing their best with what theyve got.
@maree82carm44 govt had created steady inflation of 2% for decades, yet until recently refuse to budge on tax brackets. Meaning they are effectively stealing more of your money by stealth.

So solution is private sector growth with less tax and regulation and govt shrink and balance books
If they were doing the best with that they've got, then they would be taxing wealth and assets more, and wages less. Unfortunatel, they are deeply embedded in the neoliberal ethos, so such things are anathema to them.
