Re: NZ Politics Thread

The market sets the rents Tubby, not the corporate greed. They wouldn't enter the market unless the demand and high rent was already there. And for the last ten years plus the market has said 3% is fine..... ..,. But tax free capital gains are a must, we deserve it, actually we are entitled to it.

Re: SRP Round 6: Crusaders vs Chiefs

Looking at those teams Chiefs should whip up a big score based on just smashing them direct and hard. But it's the hard part of being a chiefs fan cause you always lack that arrogant confidence cause you know what may happen. But still, that is a tough individual side of real ability. 0-6 for the sa...
