Greens push tough new rules for landlordsWednesday’s meeting of the national cabinet should consider tough new rules for landlords, says Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather. Ah price controls. They tried this in Sweden, people ended up paying huge ‘key money’ to secure a rental. So before Max gets this done he is obviously going to the banks to get them to freeze their lending rates? Max hasn't thought this through, has he. And real estate agents that manage property.

AngusGthompson We know AngusGthompson Positive. It ought to be a given. No one has a right to intrude on people with work issues after work hours unless it's part of the job, eg. such as on-call work during certain scheduled times.
