Plus, given what Blenglish calls economic growth - 18 to 55 billion in government debt. The dosh has to come from somewhere.

The important part is to assess what the medium to long term effects are - and what unforeseen side effects have resulted.
I'm scheduled to go to Vancouver in June so I should be able to dig around and find out then.

The Prime Minister, the dinner and the $25,000 donation
21 Feb 2015
Electoral returns out next week will confirm that a National Party MP received $25,000 from a controversial businessman after Prime Minister John Key had a private dinner with Donghua Liu at Mr Liu's $4.75 million home in Remuera, where a smiling Mr Key and Jami-Lee Ross, the MP for Botany, were photographed alongside Mr Liu and his young family.
John Key's secret flag donor luncheon
9 April 2016
Prime Minister John Key was the star guest at a private fundraising lunch for the Change the Flag lobby group in a last-ditch bid to raise cash from wealthy Chinese donors who supported a flag change. The exclusive meeting with no more than six donors took place in a private room of an Auckland Chinese restaurant. Other guests included National Party president Peter Goodfellow, Cabinet minister Nikki Kaye and National MP Dr Jian Yang.
What are the Government's liabilities?
13 October 2016
The Government's liabilities for the Year Ended 30 June 2016 shows the current value of broad types of liabilities and values total liabilities at $197.2 billion and include ACC claims and the Government Superannuation Fund liability.Public debt climbs by $27m a day
09/11/2013
Government debt has reached $60 billion, having climbed $27 million a day since John Key became prime minister - and forecasts show it will rise for years to come. Despite tax revenue being higher than expected and expenses lower in recent months, Treasury figures show net Crown debt reached the highest yet at $60,015,000,000 at the end of September.
Contrast that with the certain dubious pronouncements:
Government surplus increases to $1.8 billion

Warning to Auckland home buyers: 'The game's over'
29 March 2017
Originally posted by StuffANZ's chief economist says "the game's over" for Auckland's housing boom, and warned New Zealand's largest city is now heavily exposed to the risk of rising interest rates. While Auckland has a major shortage of new houses being built at a time of record migration, Cameron Bagrie said the real driver of house prices were low interest rates. With mortgage rates already climbing, Bagrie said higher borrowing costs would trump the supply shortage. "I think the big driver is interest rates, and interest rates are heading up," Bagrie said.

With all this negative media I think it will kick things off. Self for-filling prophecy?
This has me thinking about the timing, lets say you had enough funding to buy an IP. When is the best time to buy? Now or later on in the year. I think now before the election as there is so much uncertainty with all this negative talk and hardly any competition. A perfect storm.
Any thoughts on this. And yes I am in a position to buy.
