Even if those three heroic assumptions come to pass, Auckland house prices would drop (once you average out houses and apartments) by about $10,000, one off. Which would make Auckland’s “severely unaffordable” score of 8.2 in the Demographia survey drop amazingly to a “severely affordable” 8.06.I will post separately on the shortcomings of the Demographia survey itself. Whoop-de-fricken-do.

Any progress is good, of course, but pretending RMA reform is a main solution is, as you see above, laughable.

The stylish, cultured, philosophizing French nightclub owner from the Matrix is similar to boorish, awkward, incurious John Key, agreed.

Key refusing to answer questions on/even acknowledge stuff like Sabin is honestly bizarre by this point. If he's painted as arrogant for it that'll be a problem.

Abbott's just loving nuts

They probably figure arrogant is preferable to association with Sabin which might be a further clue as to what Sabin has done.

After that high-five last night at the CWC opener between Richie McCaw and Stephen Fleming, I'm starting to wonder if Richie is actually the problem and John Key got scape-goated during that Rugby World Cup trophy presentation.

The Urewera raids and the KDC affair aren't comparable other than "illegal" and "surveillance" being relevant words.

For Urewera the police over-reacted and over-reached to genuinely dubious behaviour out of fear for public safety. John Key ignored the law in order to suck up to the Americans over a copyright issue.

The prime minister isn't supposed to be a president/king position. He's the lead/organising minister of a group but it tends to regress back to a quasi ruler due to laziness and stupidity.
