• Greens' Material Turei openly advocates for financial catastrophe

    From JohnO@3:770/3 to All on Tuesday, July 26, 2016 19:14:48
    Yep, if the Greens get their way there will be mass bankruptcy and financial collapse in NZ.

    http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11682323

    Yep, all you Kiwi battlers who have managed to save up a deposit and buy your first house in the last few years: You're fucked if the Greens get into a government coalition.

    Yet another reason these haters and wreckers need to be kept well away from power.

    I can't believe that somebody would prefer the guaranteed bankruptcies and collapses of businesses and the fianancial heartbreak this would bring to the mere possibility of a crash which would in any event likely be less severe on the country. She says that other parties are thinking it also - I would like
    to
    see some evidence of that. There is a world of difference between thinking about actually doing something and considering the impact of doing something but politicians are not subtel enough to understand that.

    Indeed. What Material proposes is far, far worse than any property crash ever seen in this country.

    I heard the interview this morning, and the article gets one detail
    wrong, but certainly does not support the alarmist opinion of JohnO.
    She made it clear that, over time, house prices at the affordable end
    should return to the level of around 4 times average earnings - and
    the period spoken of was around 15 to 20 years.

    On the other hand, Natonal are leading many towards financial collapse
    - apparently some commentators have assessed that the property bubble
    will burst mid to late 2017 if government continues to keep its
    fingers in its ears and deny reality. Certainly we are in far worse
    shape to go through another international downturn, except for the 1%
    at the top of course . . .

    She's right off the wall. Hard to believe as a qualified lawyer that she
    is so ignorant of property economics.

    wrong,

    What detail would that be?

    but certainly does not support the alarmist opinion of JohnO.

    I did not express opinion - only fact:
    If someone's biggest asset drops by half that is a calamity - fact.
    A new home buyer who borrows 80% on a 25 year mortgage only to lose 50% in 15 years they will have nil equity despite all the interest and capital they have paid - fact.
    Losing 50% face value over 15 years is in fact much more than 50% due to inflaction - fact.
    Large numbers of home owners in xero equity is a national economic catastrophe - fact.

    She made it clear that, over time, house prices at the affordable end
    should return to the level of around 4 times average earnings - and

    She said three to four times.

    the period spoken of was around 15 to 20 years.

    She mentioned 2030. That's 14 years.


    On the other hand, Natonal are leading many towards financial collapse
    - apparently some commentators have assessed that the property bubble

    Just another litany of lies from Dickbot - ho hum.

    You read it Rich? Did you get your grand daughter to explain it to you?
    Because the article seems to indicate your earlier comments were typical
    of you and pure bullshit Rich.

    It is a silly idea however you look at it. The impact of such a change, however it is triggered, must be disastrous for the country.
