Now, some may ask: how does this story of a humble taxi driver called Joe link to the Overseas Investment Act and bill? To me, it's simple. Joe chose to bring up his family here in New Zealand, the land of milk and honey, a place where children can receive quality education, experience the stable political system, and one could get ahead with support or hard work. The purpose of the Overseas Investment Act recognises that we are, in fact, the land of milk and honey, where we can grow, cultivate, and harvest our food, where our land is productive and our fisheries, forestry, and natural and physical resources are a rare privilege that is worthy of protection. It seeks to protect the privilege we have here in New Zealand.
