NZ farmers out of the deal. It is very easy to say it is xenophobic when opposition is expressed just as it is very easy to call someone a redneck if any criticism of Maori is made.
When a overseas based Englishman can buy up two high country stations and establish his own personnel fiefdom charging for access to fishing or making it more difficult to access many get upset
You can hardly blame the vendor for accepting a good price and heading for Golden Bay.
The much criticized RMA the brainchild of Ruth Richardson has allowed the subdivision of land that should have remained for farming or horticulture giving massive windfall profits to many land owners. Again you cannot blame them for taking advantage.
National is proposing more changes to the RMA which has always worked to the benefit of those with deep pockets and good lawyers.

The older generation are feed what they like to hear from winny, but they are not dumb. Winston Peters has been caught again telling pork pies. This straight from Whale Oil. Dear oh dear, he was talking to Grey Power members too. I know he could be a potential partner for National, but there is one thing I can't stand and that is a B.Ser. Remember this blast from the past/ Winston Peters lying to New Zealand My dad was a big fan of him, now you want to hear what he says about Poo. My old man has finally worked him out and so have most of his mates. None of them will ever give him another vote and will go back to National or Labour. That seems to be a theme in Hamilton, not sure why maybe EZ can add to that.
Unemployment keeps falling - drops to five-year low
New Zealand's unemployment rate fell to a five-year low in the June quarter.
Key Points:
• The number of people employed increased by 10,000 people.
• The employment rate fell 0.1 percentage points, to 65.0 per cent.
• The number of people unemployed decreased by 9,000 people.
• The unemployment rate fell 0.3 percentage points to 5.6 per cent.
• The labour force participation rate decreased 0.3 percentage points, to 68.9 per cent.
That's the lowest rate since March 2009, and below the 5.8 percent forecast in a Reuters survey of economists.
Hard to find a negative here, no doubt a certain somebody will try though.
