Yea, excluded from society in general. Pretty much sums up the attitude of many. I used to be very pro NZ and kiwi in general, last few years I really have started to question the society we have created and are accepting.

Re: The OFFICIAL Capt Hurricane Hurricanes vs Chiefs Thread - Super Rugby Round 8

Can't argue with that well beaten there.
Instead of tackling and putting the shoulder in the chiefs decided to throw the player to the ground and when they didn't go to ground we were stuffed.

Canes really look good I'm impressed.

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.
