The Auckland Property Investors’ Association Incorporated (APIA) is urging all property investors to take part in the consultation on the “Design of the interest limitation rule and additional bright-line rules”. The submission deadline is 12th July 2021.
APIA is particularly concerned about the lack of investor participation in the consultation process. “Anecdotally we are seeing some level of apathy. That’s understandable given how alienated and shut out investors have been by this government and from its housing policies,” says association president Kristin Sutherland, “Many investors have simply given up trying to be heard.”

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she is getting MFAT to check if Air New Zealand breached obligations under international law.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she was not aware her KiwiSaver scheme was invested in companies which supplied weapons to the Saudi military. Ardern ordered an inquiry into a deal under which Air New Zealand serviced engines for the Saudi Arabian navy, saying the deal did not pass the “sniff test”. The war in Yemen is recognised as an international humanitarian crisis, and Air New Zealand has now cancelled the deal with the Saudi navy. But even as Ardern was speaking on the Air New Zealand deal, her ANZ KiwiSaver provider, in which she has had money since at least 2015, owned shares in Britain’s BAE Systems, and two United States companies Textron and Raytheon, all three of which have supplied weapons to the Saudi military since Saudi Arabia became involved in the Yemen war.
