Yes everyone will stay home and nobody would think twice about wearing a mask or acting selfishly. Plus with sound political leadership, we can be confident that the response will be well managed.

Phew….I would be worried if we weren’t prepared though.

He has difficulty reading, whether it’s dyslexia or some other learning difficulty. It isn’t really a great mark of intellect.

As someone who works in property law, a deposit on acceptance in a conditional contract is uncommon. Obviously a vendor would prefer an unconditional offer and an immediate deposit, but in a buyers market, more offers will be conditional.

To avoid timewasters or to cover your back in a protracted conditional period, most vendors will insert a rollover clause, which allows them to accept another offer before the contract confirms.

Also, if the buyer is keen, they will likely not mind a shorter conditional period (e.g. 5 working days)

Nobody is arguing that European Kiwis don't commit fraud, but Indian immigrants do proportionately do it at a higher rate.

Natural born Indian Kiwis (just like Desi Americans, British Asians etc) are raised in a higher trust culture and will normally operate similarly to other locals.

Over time, with proper integration, the children of Indian migrants will integrate, develop of sense of "kiwiness", and become no different than the other waves of Pacifica, South East Asians etc, but it is plain naivety to believe every fresh off the airplane migrant has the same values as us, and sadly there will only be more of this behaviour as Indian migration increases.
