I see New Zealand has band the foreign ownership of property.
The NZ government banned the purchase of residential real estate by foreigners only. Most everything else, such as grocery chains, what's left of the manufacturing industry, banking, insurance and other financial institutions is owned by foreigners and nobody objects to more of that happening.

I think the hope is to stave off a UK style housing crisis, where systemic shortfalls are exacerbated by easy buy-to-let terms and increasing numbers of properties are bought up for renting or left dormant for investment purposes.

What's happening in NZ and Australia is that Chinese investors are buying units off the plan and leaving them vacant. They are basically parking their money. It's pushing up both purchase and rental prices for others.

Pretty much every big problem in the world, from high housing prices to plastic garbage in the oceans, has a sneaky Chinee behind it. Yellow Peril, man. They're going to eat every other species on the planet and shit them into our drinking water, you just watch.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I don't know. We give them the best railway system in the world and they're still eating insects with two bits of wood. :roll:

Proud Boys Gavin McFuckface looking to come to Australia. Will be interesting to see if our far right wing immigration minister will grant him a visa.
