@@titiwhai Could we compare GDP per capita? Population is relative. If we produced the same per capita. And we consumed the same per capita then the trade would be balanced. America is printing money to pay for imports. Large scale production is also more efficient apparently. I think blaming governments is denying the reality that they aren't as powerful as the private sector. Or the aggregate actions of all citizens. If we didn't sell stuff to the most productive nation on earth. Like our land and resources. Then prices of the imported goods would rise to balance trade.

Both governments along with the banks turned houses into a pseudo stock market. From the mid 1980s the theory was borrow as much as possible for a house because if you couldn't afford it you would make a sizeable quick profit on the way withou paying any tax. FOMO created the momentum for the exponential increase in house prices, in Auckland nowhere was safe from investors leveraged to the hilt building rental portfolios. Those on the lowest of wages could not even afford the roughest areas anymore and so began the rise of the landlord class and the now really struggling class. It was extremely sad, unecessary and creating the biggest social and fiscal problem to hit New Zealand. Our major cities still require low skilled labour this won't change, but they could not only afford mortgage, they were struggling to pay rent. Those families being topped up were being subsidised through the tax payer often the next tier up and they were struggling as well. It is lunacy for a country to have a large amount of retirees who ned both a pension and a living allowance. I am no socialist but there is a responsibilty for all governments to ensure a balanced social and fiscal state every day they are running the country. In our haste to trade with China and appease them I believe both National and Labour prostituted their public for fiscal gain. If the housing market crashes it should be no surprise to those who expected it and the worst nightmare for many.

South East Asians that move to Australia work harder, pay just as much tax, are much more likely to be taken advantage of, buy a house, less likely to commit a crime, far more likely to have a small business and use less public resources than the typical "Aussie". Not to mention they represent a minuet number in our prison systems (especially when you remove the Vietnamese from the ratio) Lets not forget that the violence against Asian Australians was a all time high during Covid and the racism/discrimination/racial stereotypes the second gen Australians cop while growing up in school AND their work place. Bamboo ceilings exists and many like myself have to try harder to "Fit" into a society I was born in. We need to work harder, complain less and take less time off.

Labour party allowed 250,000 immigrants in New Zealand in 2023. 42,000 homes were built in 2023. Immigrants are using up all the available houses. now none are left and you have to pay high prices because of low supply, high demand. If you want immigration, set the immigration rate to the amount of houses built the year before.

Net immigration is what counts. The actual number, allowing for people leaving NZ, is 127,000 The idea has some merit though. I'd suggest tweaking the rules, so that an immigrant building a new home gets preference.

@@Muritaipet I don't think that would work because the amount of immigrants willing to spend $200,000 to buy land and build a house would be in single digits. You could give them preference, but Labour still wants immigrants so it will not effect the house supply. I would give New Zealand citizens $35,000 Home Builders Grant. This would incentivise building a house. But it won't help if you don't stop the demand (immigration).

@@Hunty49 An interesting idea. Of course we could also look at the problem of immigrant demand. We could reduce that, by training or incentivizing people in employment areas with shortages.

Great historic video!! Early 2000s, I would guess, before things went mad. No foreigner is allowed to own property in China. Why have NZ politicians sold this country by the acre to foreign buyers? Answer; hedonistic greed. And the population loved it too. Foreign countries loved it as well, as it gave them the opportunity to buy strategic coastline and farming assets. Getting rich on property revaluations (on paper), doing nothing, not being taxed, became the only game in town. This is NZ.

This is a very dishonest collection of misleading cuts by cultural dementia using material over the last two decades as current. Lianne Dalziel was Minister of Immigration probably 17-19 years ago. At a meeting supporting Lianne Dalziel in the 2005 election at Canterbury University, Lianne is a fragile beauty and certainly a friend of the PM at the time. Dalziel was giving me a farewell embrace with her parliamentary staff, saying 'Lianne time for the airport.' and her staff just lifted her up and away.That was fairly standard in that desperate electorate. I can be remember being embraced by Alliance candidate Lailla Harre ( a one time Clark minister) with Jim Anderton saying to Lailla, ' he only wants you for your body Lailla'. That was politics in that era. The threat of a Brash government which was a stalking horse for Bill English and Judith Collins , Country part suthoritarianism. Winston Peters is one of a handful of strong supporters of the US and molitary relations in this country. Mych of Winston and Marks view on social policy and other matters is out of date and wrong. On immigration matters he is not remotely extreme or irresponsible compared with Suella and Farange. It is difficult to know what percentage of the NZ population has maori ancestry, what percentage supports the more radical Maori empiwerment.calls and the fact is anyone can call themselves a Maori by ticking that box in the.census indeed they are encouraged to do by retired Professor Spoonley. Unlike in rhe case of Australia, Chinese arrivals can maintain dual citizenship in NZ but it is unclear if even a majority would favour accepting a Chinese sphere of influence over our region which is non negotiable and unacceptable assertion to our strategic partners Japan and Australia. Prime Monister Bill English 12: months as PM destroyed 40 years of progress towards NZ being an open free economy. One should review the insulting way Bill English handled his meeting with US Vice President Mike Pence.

The place would be better off in building a botanical public garden park for society. Something for the whole public in general. Transform the entire city complex into the New Zealand "Keep it Green" foundation and make it a giant resting place for the city workers,/commuters/shoppers/senior citizens/students/parents to relax and to have a breather, have a picnic, or simply enjoy the ambiance of nature in the middle of the city without resorting to city sidewalk benches that caters for 4 people. Making a public park is far more profitable for society over A building complex that profits the complex ownership beneficiaries that don't offer a profitability service for the general public and only targets a specific audience out of the public society. The whole idea of building a new complex is an opportunity for businessmen to make money in the end at the cost of the city. Give the entire landscape back to the land and build an inner city botanical garden park and reinstill the grassroots kiwi-ana, laid back number-8 wired, gumbooted kick back attitude that can benefit all public civilians in society. It's better to build a new rather than rebranding the old. Make a better future place for our future kids. So, yeah, I believe the city workers will visit that place every day, even if it's just for a little time for fresh air and space 😉
