Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Rent freeze isn't the worst, as long as you allow some movement to a max level. One of the bigger problems with the current rental rules is that they don't allow for 'good' landlords who charge below what they can get and are then stuck if they want or need to increase to a reasonable level. So if ...

Re: NZ needs to help Australian rugby

After 20 years of failure the Wallabies have proven that's an unreliable strategy. Australia needs NZ rugby to help, but not out a sense of benign altruism but rath...

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Sean Keyes did a piece on 50k homes a run a few weeks ago in the Currency. The new housing target is 50,000 per year. Most are agreed. What goes into building 50,000 homes? With big numbers, it's easy to zone out. As I’ve written many times, 50,000 units are roughly the size of Cork City. At that ra...
