NZ reset required.
This is something I have been thinking about for at least the last 20 years so it is not suggested lightly. The effects of the manipulation of Interest rates to the detriment of ordinary Kiwis and their offspring; the unmandated and the inflationary practices of recent administrations has seen us pass a crisis point. Apart from a recent pathetic attempt to address is there any interest in solving problem. A good start would be an agreement to concentrate on making property affordable to all including future generations. We need to reverse our reducing home ownership trend and enable it to climb again. Renting must also be affordable but this will only get worse the way we are going.
