Just to let everyone know that these money grabbing people are still operating, in Botany at present.
We went and had a look at a three bedroom house today, on a very small section, that was auctioned a couple of weeks ago, in Dairyland Drive. When I asked the agent what price had it been passed in at auction, I thought it hadn't sold, as it was listed the next day with a "by negotiation" on it, he said it had been sold at auction for one million and eighty thousand, bought by an investor, who then put it straight back on to the market, and was wanting around one million, two hundred thousand for it.
Not a thing had been done to it, and it needed new paint and wallpaper, and landscaping. So for the politicians to say it is not the Chinese investors putting the prices up, that is a load of bull, this is just one example of it happening, and it is about time that one party had the guts to say enough!!!!!!!!, this is what is making it so hard for born and bred N.Z.ers to be able to buy a home, and I for one will vote for that party if it ever happens, and I won't hold my breath!!!!!!

This event also comes with awesome spot prizes a backdrop to take photo's with Actors and some included goodies with your ticket. It's definitely going to be a great night!!


About Spookers - the documentary: As night falls at Spookers, dozens of seemingly ordinary people become freaks, zombies and chainsaw-wielding clowns. Every weekend come rain, hail or shine, this diverse group of amateur performers unite to terrify punters at the southern hemisphere’s largest scream park, situated in a former psychiatric hospital. Director Florian Habicht reveals the transformative and paradoxically lifesaving power of belonging to a community that celebrates fear.
