Its Over Luxon Wins

Shame they didn't assist 6 years ago - then the housing crisis may not have become housing Armageddon- all under their watch.

How long did the Nats have?

With the exception of the last 2 years of the last National Government housing remained relatively flat.   Overall national values increased but not as previously seen in the Labour Government prior.   So when things did start to move they recognized the key to slowing the growing marketplace were, surprise, surprise, more houses and more land for houses.    However thanks to the RMA (a National designed law that should never have been passed) it isn't easy to develop land or build large subdivisions.  National attempted for change that but Labour played politics and said no.  Now they are in the same position yet National, for the betterment of the country, put aside the politiking and chose to assist.
