labour said we will help the poor Yeah right
Its started already with the price of fuel. Note theat when labour took office a litre cost 1.73 and now it is 1.99. Soon another 12 cents goes on here and in auckland 23cents. If you rent a house in Tauranga area your rent is going to sky rocket as the council is increasing rates by 40%plus gst and the government has increased all insurance levies for fire and earth quake. By my calculations a 500.00 a week rent will be 554.00 a week and this has happened in four months since labour took office and watch this space as there is more to come. The rich are going to continue to get rich and we are all paying for it.

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank
Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing
You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.
If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
