Your poor little head. I agree foreign money flows are a problem. I do not agree that Labour's research can make any reliable conclusion about that.

why isn't this the issue?
Because Labour still can't manage political communication. It's not us here or the righties who made this about race.

I have not seen you state that Chinese foreign investors aren't a major driver of the Auckland housing market.

I imagine they used Chinese names because they were more strongly distinguished in their model. That's fine. I agree that the political decision to link that strongly with 'foreign investment' is another thing altogether.

Why can’t you just say it?
This sort of discussion style may go down swimmingly over at Kiwibog or Failoil, but it's bloody boring here. Get over yourself.
