As I prepared for this adjournment speech today, something strange, almost mystical, occurred. A gift arrived unannounced, wrapped in a kimono with a ham and cheese panini and a bowl latte on the side. I was provided with a list. My sixth sense told me it was indeed what I thought it was: newly minted real estate agent Paula Bennett's listings for December 2020. Now, as you would expect in the portfolio of a budding real estate agent, there are a mixture of those wanting to sell and those wanting to buy. One large sale stood out: the Blue family are looking to downsize—dramatically. The blurb for the Blue family's house says, "After having one careful owner for nine years and then a series of bad short-term tenants, the Blue family house is a renovator's dream. Tired, with a bland colour scheme, and desperately in need of repiling and rewiring to come into the 21st century." Paula Bennett has scribbled a note on this listing to say a recently arrived tenant has flown in saying he may want to make an offer fairly early in the new year—watch this space, Mr Speaker.
