Rod Donald is like a little boy throwing a temper tantrum

When I was a little boy and couldn't get my way I used to stamp my feet and say, "It's not fair!"

Well Rod Donald is in his 50's and still does it: "It is not fair that many New Zealanders cannot afford to buy a family home because they are competing in the same market as well-off overseas buyers who want to profit from loose foreign investment laws," Mr Donald says.

Personally, I'm not a bigot - I've sold two homes so far. Both times to whoever offered the most money. I didn't bother to check out what nationality they were.

  • Being careful about allowing non-resident foreigners to buy homes here is "bigotry".

    It's about avoiding homes being priced beyond the reach of people who DO live here.

    I can see the difference - and the reason - clearly enough. Most people can.
