3news-Reid Research Poll – Did Labour’s
Attack on Foreign Buyers Work?
The 3New-Reid
Research poll out at 6pm tonight will assess the political
fallout of Labour’s targeting of Chinese buyers in the
Auckland housing market.
3News Political Editor Patrick
Gower says the poll will clearly show whether Labour’s
move worked.
“Labour is hoping for a pivotal moment like
Orewa was for Don Brash. This poll result is clear on
whether Labour’s tactics have paid off.”
The poll also
asked voters whether they supported a ban on non-resident or
non-citizen foreign buyers.
“The question about a ban on foreign buyers is also
important because it shows what people’s real feelings on
the issue are.”
The poll, of 1000 people, was taken from
July 14-22.
Full details on the 3News-Reid
Research poll will be released tonight on 3News at 6 and

Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn. Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
