If UDC have a 1.43% impairment provision and Heartland have a 1.09% impairment provision then I do not see how the emphasised conclusion can be drawn from the data.

I have to admit I couldn't quite understand the post you both referred to either. This is a bit of a worry considering it was I that wrote it!
So perhaps I should back track a bit, to a more easily understood piece of kiwi culture: "the possum theory of risk".
The possum theory of risk goes like this.
Scenario 1: You are driving along in your car and you see no possums, either the reflections of their eyeballs, or flattened on the road. Does this mean there was no risk, or does it mean that you just didn't see the possums?
Scenario 2: You are driving along the road and you see lots of possum eyeball reflections at different stages, but you don't hit any. Do you see those possums as they scramble to the edge of the road for safety? Or are they frozen in the middle of the road caught in the headlights?
Scenario 3: You are driving along the road, you see a few possum eyeballs and you hit a few possums. You might say that a dead possum is written off. But as a fresh kill, do you stop, put it in the back of the wagon and skin and boil up the carcass to at least get some return from the beast? And are you really a reckless driver for hitting so many possums? Or are you a supreme driver for only hitting one or two possums when there are so many out there?
If this is all to cryptic for some of you, substitute 'bank manager' for driver, 'vulnerable loan' for possum, and 'impaired loan' for road kill possum and see where you get with the analogy !

Given heightened market interest in the dairy sector in New Zealand, Heartland advised the market that its exposure to dairy is $218.0m which equates to 7.6% of its total lending book. The average loan to value ratio (LVR) for Heartland’s dairy exposures is 61%. However, it is important to note that LVRs are only one of the indicators of loan quality. Heartland expects a continuation of lower than historical higher milk pay-out levels, followed by a slow recovery. This will lead to an increase in farmers making operating losses. Heartland is well positioned to provide support for its dairy customers in the forthcoming year.
Extract from 2015 annual report
Yeshiva - In fairness to Winner69 and the likely direction of the dairy loan book I think its pretty clear providing ongoing support to loss making dairy farmers means the size of the loan book heads north. Whether that's at a rate faster than their overall loan book remains to be seen. HBL are on safe ground predicting a "slow" recovery in dairy prices, (slow is such a loose term it could be defined as anything from months to many more years). How many more years do you think they should support loss making dairy farmers ?

Heartland says "Key drivers of growth for Heartland are GDP and employment"
Great news then -
unemployment rate falls to 5.3% (most gurus were expecting an increase). Lowest rate since 2009. And wage index up 1.5%
Can we conjecture this leads to more household borrowing ---- through Heartland of course

Whether it or SCL is now the biggest holding in my NZ portfolio will literally depend on the market price.
