Taupō’s $31 Million Blunder: Why Ratepayers Are Paying Triple
“the worst council deal of the century” — a $31 million, 25-year lease between Taupō District Council and the local iwi that leaves ratepayers footing the bill with no asset in return. Why did the council agree to pay three times more rent for new offices it will never own? Who signed off this deal, and why the secrecy?

Struggling Kiwis Pay More While Luxon Pays Less — The Hypocrisy Is Staggering
Christopher Lunon's $8,000 rates relief on his Waiheke mansion is a slap in the face to struggling Kiwis. I reckon you can't make this up. Christopher Luxon, the Prime Minister who tells the rest of us to live within our means has saved $8,000.In terms of his rates bill for the year, so it's $25,000. It's now $17,000 on his $10 million Waiheke Island property that he says is not worth $10 million, eight grand on a property most of us couldn't afford to walk past, let alone own. This is the same man who's refused to cap rates, increases for ordinary New Zealanders like you and me, the same guy who says councils need to be fiscally disciplined while families in the suburbs are.Cutting back on food and fuel and school costs to survive. But Luxon, he's mortgage free and still he's asking for help with his rate. Bill, could you just lower it for me? Please? Let that sink in. He's worth millions. And I'm not anti wealth. I'm not anti wealth. I think wealth's really important. Okay. But he shows this guy's wealthy, right?Then wealthy people create jobs, right? So he's worth millions. He owns this luxury retreat on Waiheke and the system still finds a way to funnel him $8,000 in fewer costs. The kind of support meant for people doing it tough, not people with a personal vineyard view of the hauraki gulf It's the hypocrisy that stings, I think, because while you're being told to suck up, the rates, hikes and shoulder the cost of living.The Prime Minister is laughing. All the way to the bank.

How to Buy a Home without a Bank Loan | ft Chris Smith

Luxon’s Oil & Gas Challenge to Hipkins
On today’s episode, we dive into the recent political drama as Christopher Luxon offers a surprising invitation to Labour’s Chris Hipkins: support oil and gas exploration again to help tackle New Zealand’s energy crisis. After Labour banned oil and gas under Jacinda Ardern’s government, Luxon is pushing to lift the ban—but Hipkins has firmly rejected the idea.Is Luxon trying to bind Hipkins politically, or is this a serious attempt to find common ground on energy policy? I break down why Hipkins’ outright refusal feels more like political theater than pragmatic leadership, and why Luxon’s move, despite some clumsy timing, signals a shift towards addressing the real-world energy challenges we face.
