I think you may have misjudged your audience here.
Russell, cleanup on aisle 2.

My wife’s family name is Tang, I will give you a free car if you can tell me her ethnicity, not simply the country her name originated from, but her actual ethnicity, I’ll give you one guess.
She's from Raro?
(I'll just get my coat and hat...)

Polity: House-buying patterns in Auckland, in reply to Michael Homer,
Property title data, including owners, is public and freely available. The LINZ data service is excellent. To figure out transfers you’d need to compare two snapshots, I think.
Yeah, nah. The Property Titles layer "provides title information (excluding ownership) where there is a data link to one or more primary parcels."
You can request access to the Closed Access Group, but there's a hoop or two to jump through first, and a licencing agreement to accept. Still free, as far as I can see, but not immediately available. I know a few people who do have full access and they're usually in the land business (like surveyors, valuers etc). Was quite handy when we were fighting NZTA about the Kapiti Expressway.

Unfortunately, such meaningful reform is up against a property-owning class that’s more powerful than the House of Lords. Call them if you will the House of Lords of Houses.
And the members are on both sides of the Aisle.

To put it another way, it’s more useful to talk about whether actions and words are racist in effect, than whether people are racist (and implicitly damned) in their hearts.
Exactly.

I do now. Dairy farms fall into the overseas invertment office jurisdiction. Becouse they are productive assets.
Nup, more because they are sensitive land parcels and/or worth more than $100million See the OIO webpage

Quite disappointed in this article and the half-baked statistics and analysis, you really don’t attempt to address the actual issue of foreign investment at all and just put more fuel on this racist sideshow.
So, let’s get this straight. You’re disapponted in what you see as “half-baked statistics” from Keith, but you’re happy to accept half-baked statistics* from Labour?
And in case you missed it, Labour didn’t make this about foreign investment. They made it about Chinese-sounding names being, as they saw it, over-represented in one real estate agent’s customer list over a 3 month period.
Take your trolling elsewhere.
*Actually, I don't think they went near the oven.

Now I’m thinking you were quoting Orphan Black
No, it was Cats and Dogs. Great film.

Yes, I don’t think the other regions would be unaffected by a financial catastrophe in Auckland
I think not, stinky puppy. Quite a lot of flow on would occur.
