Comedian Robbie Nicol takes a good hard look at the Auckland housing issues, especially entertaining for non-Aucklanders

Comedian Robbie Nicol takes a good hard look at the Auckland housing issues, especially entertaining for non-Aucklanders

Politicians want to solve the housing bubble by gutting the RMA and guessing who's foreign. We reckon it's time to stop talking about the politicians and start talking directly to the people in charge.

‘White Man Behind a Desk’ is written by Robbie Nicol, and made an actual thing by Elsie and Sally Bollinger.

I thought it was pretty incisive but then I'm not a property speculator (gambler).

Whats wrong with shower sex? You can even blow bubbles in the shower if you want. But i agree with you @ManWithDesk, reform of the RMA is critical.

Agree....and anyone who doesn't think that the RMA is an issue has absolutely no idea how the Resource Management Act works....People who utilise photos of the native bush while discussing the RMA haven't got a damn clue of the consenting process!!!
