Oh great a 30 million hand over of private land.

I don't think so tim.

30 million? It's a 210+ million deal. I'm sure that $210 million will be lining someones pockets and it won't be mine.

I see the Stuff website have a poll running at present. Was only going to be a matter of time.
Only 7800 votes taken so far but currently 66% against the sale and 34% for.

1 rugby field is about 1.008 Hectares. Therefore fair to say in rough terms, that a rugby field is 1 hectare.
China just purchased 8000 New Zealand rugby fields.

The sale price works out to $46 per person in this country. Biscuits really.

The local offer was 30 million short. Don't forget this is private property and not state owned.

This is the sale of "New Zealand" to the "Chinese Government".
It is not the sale of New Zealand land to a private overseas bussiness concern.
The difference between selling land to Americans,,,ect that live, work,an raise their familys in NZ, and selling large parts of the country to people that will never live here but will use their agents to bleed everything they can from it has already been done in NZ on a large scale once before.
All of us both Brown and White are still paying for the last time,,and now were being lead back down the same path by exactly the same type of money/power hungry vermin as did it last time.
Any wonder the Maori in particular are worried ?
Not really,,they've seen it before Huh!
