I went to a building industry candidates meeting earlier in the week. They started talking about what National changing the interest deductibility rules would effect rental rates and how much extra landlords would get.
The Greens spokesperson quickly referenced the CTU’s calculations that over 300 landlords making over $450 million per year. When it was pointed out that included non tax paying charities so they wouldn‘t be benefiting like that, he moved on to saying that Chris Luxon had a conflict of interest because he owned four rental properties and would financially benefit due to the changes to interest deductibility.
When asked how he knew this, he said it was because of information from a press release from Renters United. Problem with that is Luxon doesn’t have any mortgages on any of his properties including his rental ones. Luxon can’t benefit financially from the changes because he has no mortgage, so there is no conflict of interest despite what Renter United, the Greens, Megan Wood or Jack Tame would have us believe.

He has charisma and says funny things - its enough to get a bunch of weird other MPs elected.
a matter of opinion...he speaks snobby, and smiles a lot, but the interview with Jack tame showed him for what he is... a dipstick.

Revealed: How many properties each New Zealand MP owns
There are just a handful of MPs who don't own a home.

This was a breakdown of who owns what etc in the political sphere in NZ.
The three of them about to form this coalition all get very prickly when challenged.
He's back from political oblivion and about to get 7 or 8% - like I said its definitely not a policy or other MP thing driving it

Tbf I think he did clarify that didn't he?
"Let's go on, Winston!" -Luxon
"Up the Lux!" -Seymour
"Let's Eat ...the bugs!" -Liz Gunn
Luxon would benefit though because interest deductibility will bring a people back to hoarding property and send prices up.
A Core Logic rep on RNZ Morning Report was saying it had cooling effect on certain parts of the housing market.

I think it will actually appeal to his voter base.
The antihero, trump loving type that doesn’t care about honest, integrity or policy, but just want a maverick that will shoot from the hip.
Somebody said this exact point to me today & I have to agree.

By that logic everyone that owns a house has a conflict because house prices might go up.
And everyone that doesn’t own a house is also conflicted because they don’t want house prices to go up.
Who’s left to vote on housing when everyone is affected in one way or another by any housing policy?
It's more about who owns 7 houses and is campaigning to give tax relief to other landlords.
Of course interest deductibility isn't going to solve the whole issue but its one small tool.
Making this issue a campaign issue while simultaneously campaign on doles bludgers is pretty obscene...
