  7. Before deregulation of the banking system, the money supply was smaller, and people could not borrow for houses from trading banks. The effect changed house prices as people could borrow more to meet the price asked.

  8. The polices of this government are currently not improving the economic situation. There are no indications that downward on rents is reducing rent or stopping increases. Houses! There are 33,000 for sale ! The government could buy them with 2.9 billion it gave up as an increase in deduction .

  9. Economist will tell that assets used in production income depreciate in value. Land is different in nature.

  11. @henryhollis4287  Roger Douglas talked about investing in productive investments. National in 1991 changed a lot, and it has given us issues now. The new government has removed subsides on public transport for reasons, but it has not removed accommodation supplements. Why? It is ingrained now, and rents charged include this factor. Being government is hard work. There are many issues.

  13. The cost of disestablushing Productivity Commission of 22 employees was $339,000( created by National in the period 2009-2017) to be replaced by the Misistry of regulation. D Seymour want staff to be 44 to 66 in the ministry of regulation. The productivity cost $6 m to run each year. So is minister about saving money? Why were the people in productivity commission not capable of doing the new work?

  14. @julianwarmington1267  income tax rates . He said the government can afford to do this. This government income is reduced. But, the government spending has not been reduced by this amount. So, the shortfall in income is borrowed.
