"after 8 years of National being in power, calling the shots" ...

So what? All i'm saying is that everyone blames National for house prices in Auckland rising, when in fact the seeds of this were sewn decades ago. There is no quick fix. In fact, short of massively increasing supply there is nothing much you can do until it crashes. No tax will solve it, it hasn't worked anywhere else so i doubt it will here.

House prices double in NZ under Labour, nothing to see here. House prices double, in Auckland under National, massive problem of unbelievable proportions?

Really? Sure it's a problem, but National have done more to "try" and fix it than Labour ever did.
