Age Concern and Grey Power are looking at the interest rates, which the older people need to live on. In past years, it was close to 10 per cent and higher, however but when their members have to pay $25,000.00 to some land agent to handle a sale that solicitors need to conclude no mention.

Why should the public have to pay land agents a ridiculous sum for a basic service, to help them join the ranks of millionaires?

It was good before for them, and now it's a bonanza!

How many doctors and highly skilled people get paid this kind of income, even after years of study?

Looking at the skill level in comparison is a joke. National get funding from the real estate people so no action there. As for other political parties, who knows, they also are a bit lax if they do not look at this situation, and why they charge a lower fee in the South Island and fill your boots in the North?

Perhaps the political people are waiting for John to lose his Key.

It's hard to get change if people in responsible positions keep sitting on their hands. The question has to be asked, why are they there?
