New Zealand experienced one of the biggest house price booms in the world during the pandemic. However, since prices peaked in late 2021, values in real inflation-adjusted terms have plummeted by more than 30% to levels last seen in 2019, nearly six years ago. The latest house price results from the REINZ showed that home
Now, this is a tricky one, George, because it’s a subject on which my opinion has altered violently. And this is a disaster!

For as long as I can remember, the date of Australia Day has been a source of controversy, with ‘Invasion Day’ protests taking place year after year. But recent polling from Resolve suggests that public opinion has shifted significantly toward the date remaining on the 26th of January. According to Resolve, 68% of Australian voters
