Apparently Seven Sharp has been doing a series of stories about Funded Family Care. Not sure whether they have shown yet as I'm afraid I just can't watch Mike Hosking.

Thank you for this insight Tom. Thank you for keeping a tally of your hours and interactions as I suspect this is not out of the ordinary. I am very interested in your ideas and it is at least heartening that you have found one receptive provider. I suspect that these will need to be local initiatives, teaming up with allies in the same region. I would be interested in hearing more.

Polity: House-buying patterns in Auckland, in reply to Russell Brown,
There are probably many in minimum wage work such as retail, restaurants and hospitality. While many of the students might come from wealthy families. Demography is fascinating.

Andrew Little just mentioned on Morning Report that those of Chinese ethnicity in Auckland have lower than average household incomes - so are unlikely to be buying up the Auckland real estate. There is another issue there - of ethnicity and poverty. Also indicates large inequality within the Chinese community - I wonder whether the margin between the very poor and the very rich is wider than for other ethnic groups?
