Labour govt 2020-23

From Westpac's "Home Truths" newsletter this week:
The driver of the current increase in house prices is low
interest rates. Physical factors like net migration and housing
supply cannot be the driver right now - net migration has
been zero since April, and the construction sector is booming

Exactly. Fungus's golden law - real estate prices and interest rates are the opposite ends of a see-saw. Remember the best time to buy real estate is when interest rates are high.

Also removal of LVRs temporarily. Buyers without enough cash or equity deposit, but with good serviceability, have a limited window to buy. Pushing up demand.

More evidence Cindy is just a first class virtue signalling bull****ter.

While at the same time she voted to legalise another smoked substance. Go Cindy. Your lie quota hasn't been filled this week.

Or this jonu. How cynical and ruthless can a Government be. Criminally charging lifesavers to protect themselves:
Gordon Campbell: "Among other things, the WorkSafe criminal proceedings into the Whakaari /White Island disaster look like the outcome of a conscious political strategy. "

Cindy's true colours coming to the fore. We need far more critical examination of this government than the Tova O'briens and Paddy Gowers are capable of.

Gordon Campbell has laid Ardern's cynicism bare. She clearly doesn't give a **** about those who risked their lives in the absence of leadership from the authorities. She's happy to hang them out to dry to cover her incompetent government's arse.

The message to the helicopter pilot and all the others that risked their lives to save all these people is that they should have waited while a committee of safety "experts" convened to consider whether it was safe to go onto the island. Meanwhile people lay dying in agony on the island. Absolutely appalling

You all do realise that the prosecutions are for actions before the eruption and not for the subsequent action of some of the same people?
Are you suggesting because some of the same people put their own lives at risk after that they shouldn't be held accountable for what they may have done prior?

Are you saying they would have been prosecuted anyway if the eruption had not happened ? I don't think so. I agree with Campbell (who normally praises Labour), this stinks of political interference. Shame on Labour.
