Tracey, What you call "self interest" may well be called "survival" by those in that situation. Even as 10% drop in property values could have thousands of folk in an upside down position - and they wont vote for that, and it doesnt make them bad people.

No farmer will tell you they just farm for capital gain, tho undoubtedly, some do. I once worked for one of NZs most successful farming operations (vegetables with some fruit) and I can assure you, that they farmed for cash surplus per ha. They innovated, ...

A blue swede could still win that electorate for National - it seems that one did at the last election anyway.
Its a bit unfair to blame Ms Hartley when theres no proof at all that the comments came from her. And the media never hang their informants out to dry, because if they did they wouldnt get any fresh meat. And they live on fresh meat
