What do you think should be done (to best effect) in the face of the widespread, rampant and largely unjustified anti-LL sentiment and the consequential horrendous cost to the NZ taxpayer?
By LLs in general and the NZPIF as well.
Instead we are weak, fluffing around with sunset/beach seminars. Almost every so called property group incl. associations and groups just waltz around, making cat noises here and there.
These so called leaders are not showing strong leaderships. No Strategy.
If any other community were treated like this there would be riots.

Actions & Numbers

Politics
Remember that there are more tenants than LLs, so that has a huge impact on party political policies and legislation largely aimed at re-election.
Associations
Which comes first?
The numbers to give the power?
Or the association's actions to attract the numbers to give the association the power?
If the latter, what do you suggest the actions should be?

Clarity first.
-and objectivity.
What exactly is your objective?
What specific outcome do you want?
What do you hope to gain from it?
Be specific, more money? - how much?
More freedom? - What kind of freedom, and what exactly will you do with it, and when?
What will be the price to you, and any other group or collection of individuals you choose to notice.
You need to think all the domino effects through thoroughly.
Integrity too, if you benefited from some sort of socialist type initiative like say free schooling or free libraries, then it would be ethical to support those sort of free services for the future members of our country.Last edited by McDuck; 04-12-2019, 06:22 AM.

School kids marching along the streets chanting "Leave the carbon in the soil" is far more important.
Then they duck into Burger King and grab a crushed ice drink in a plastic container and sip it through a plastic straw.
They are empowered!

They've had wage freezes before, rent freezes, attempts at controlling inflation, addressing the gap between rich and poor, doing things to stop house prices go up, etc etc.
This is just another one in the governments eyes to help tenants out more. Of course they are 180 degrees focused on the wrong thing, but it's not my job to fight against their stupidity. The market always decides in the end, supply and demand etc.

^^ Yes. There needs to be a balance between individualism and collectivism.
