    3% is insignificant to all but racist politicians and Rich.

    The point here is that while it may not make any great difference, it is
    being true to the idea that NZ is for NZer's.

    After all Pooh was getting all sweaty over the refurges coming this way.

    Also note it is the Real Estate folks who are offering this view. No
    conflict of interest. Nope.

    Not getting all sweaty over anything Gordon. I leave that to snowflakes like Rich. Who seems to be resisting his latest lot of programming. I also fail to understand what difference a 5% share is going to make on house prices. The prices have been going
    up because for many years (going back to 2000) the government and banks were happy to see people build their total mortgages faster than a lefty can scream foul and it's continuing. After all the banks don't care if a mortgagee goes bankrupt. They still
    have the house. but typical of communists everywhere Labour goes the racist track because they need Winston on side if they hope to survive longer than eighteen months.

    Yeah righto Gordon. Who would know better than real estate agents what was happening with house sales?

    So you are happy to have a government telling you who you can and
    can't sell your property to?

    And how the media hunt around the auctions looking for crowds of
    'Asians' to make that night news might be taken into consideration.
    You'd imagine by now their 'morgues' would be full of such clips

    But it is the gesture that counts. A measure like this gives people a 'feel
    good' feeling which may have been reflected in the ballot box.

    And also a watertight assurance to a growing number of disillusioned young renters-for-life that their champagne gravy train will continue shovelling easy
    money down their parasitic gullets.

    As Spike Milligan showed the world more than 50 years ago, incongruity piled upon incongruity rarely fails to amuse, so it's good that you have entered into
    the spirit of it.

    Got any figures for what the disaster looked like before Clark threw the election in 2008 and she fled to the UN? Without them the claims from you and Labour are just the usual hot air we always get from the poor wee snowflakes.
