BRETT HUDSON (National): Well, no one's property is safe with a Labour - New Zealand First - Greens Government. Fundamentally, that is what this Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill is—it's an attack on private property rights. We ought to ask ourselves why has this come about—why has this come about? Well, partly, because they're a bunch of socialists on that side. That much is pretty obvious. But the other reason why we have this right now is that the previous legislative change that this Government has made in this term of office has impacted rents by an average $60-a-week increase. Now, they're very upset about that because they, in their clouded, ideological minds, thought they could layer regulation on landlords and it wouldn't affect rents. They thought "Ah, no. It'll be fine. Landlords have got plenty of money. They make profit. They'll just swallow the extra cost.", but no, rents went up, and went up sharply.
