Well, not replying to d. bomb directly, but interesting question posed.

I have an equally interesting question. Where is the hatefilled bigoted lynch mob on here, now that Tim Jago raises his ugly profile yet again with more charges? Given those of you all reacted to the lies and disinformation, ably stirred up by our resident bigot/fascist, I haven't seen a peep on here yet about the former ACT party president.

Go figure.

I’m more than happy for Jago to find himself in prison gen pop and for his crimes to be shared

Just because he is political, there is no reason to support him

If you aren’t buying nor selling, a valuer’s guess at what your house is worth isn’t really something to keep up to date with

As leader, he should keep tabs on house price affordability. But annually ascribing a value to something he isn’t selling? Or paying attention to what someone else thinks it is worth? A waste of one’s energy

Again who fucking cares. And there’s no crime in owning a nice house.

By the way, to all of those "countering" stuff that I post on a regular basis - here's something to ponder for you - "Imagine if it was someone from the left doing these things".

I'm certain your replies would be vastly different, and a lot more outraged.

Any popularity this guy had is plummeting. Would say a leadership change to Bishop is just around the corner

And certainly not in 2021, when the article was written…

At that time: Labour was in power and pumping house prices and Luxon wasn’t PM

If labour had spent $50bn on infrastructure during their time, I think I would have even voted for them!

Depends what the polls say after Christmas. If it's still looking like this coalition is getting back in there will be no change regardless of what Luxons individual rating is.

There is more likely a change in Labour leadership. Chippy is too tainted.

NZ is famous for two term governments. Chippy is the fall guy for the chop after the next election.

They should have done a followup article in 2025: "National leader Chris Luxon unaware his $5m Remuera home declined in value $2m over four years"

Both are just caretakers currently. Luxon hasn’t and won’t resonate and I still think McAnulty takes over coming into the election unless Hipkins can continue as preferred pm as polls currently have him thereabouts

I think you are right about McAnulty. Luxons will stay.

I think Luxon is now tarnished with what he said he would achieve and it not happening like Ardern was held to account unless the economy transforms from current state. The corporate he is doesn’t resonate to the rural world which still plays a big part in the national party. John Key could cross over both worlds but this guy is polls apart from them

i think he has done enough and by this time next year there will be further improvement. The Greens and māori parties will also be enough of a deterrent for a lot of voters to switch away from this government. NZFirst might be the party that gets a jump up from their last election result

At least some of us understand how a CGT works and Luxon primary house wouldn’t be subject to a CGT. Surprising that as one of the main advocates of a CGT on the forum, that you don’t know that.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Winston go with either major party, after all, he said he wouldn’t go with an Ardern led labour party after they dropped NZ first. Politicians make odd bedfellows but being apart of a coalition with greens isn’t ridiculous when once it would have looked like a Peters/Seymour coalition would be unlikely with how they used to clash. James Shaw probably made it palatable to be in the last coalition they were in together but Winston is hugely loyal to grey power and his voter base and talks around altering the retirement age could have him concerned

Nope prices are down by plenty in the last 3 years and that’s nominal - take inflation into account & they’ve cratered (which by the way ruins the bullshit household wealth stats)

I can't see him going with any iteration of the māori party. He could go with Labour IF Hipkins steps aside before the election. I think Winnie actually has a bit of a soft spot for Luxon though.

You still waiting on an answer for that?
