What does this overseas investment bill do? Is it worth supporting? Will it help reinforce New Zealand's tradition of foreign investment? Will it tear down some of the barriers to foreign investment that we've recently erected that impoverish us by making it hard to get foreign capital? Well, it says it's "embedding a higher threshold for acquiring farm land, and ensuring that farm land is advertised in a way that best ensures New Zealanders have a chance to acquire it". I heard the Minister responsible say, "We don't want to sell our farms." Well, let's just think about what that means for a moment. I mean, first of all, "our farms"—what is he talking about? Has New Zealand secretly become a sort of North Korea of the South Pacific with one big collective farm that's for sale? No, actually, New Zealand individuals own farms, and it's up to them to decide who they sell them to, not up to someone else to decide. But it turns out that, actually, if you want to sell your farm to one of those terrible foreign people, then you have to advertise that you're doing it in the paper.
