Kia ora The Government's decision this week to allow foreign ownership of the Crafar farms is short sighted. When it comes to our productive farmland, we must keep it Kiwi. The Green Party has a policy to ensure New Zealand land remains in New Zealand ownership by prohibiting the sale of land to non-residents. It's exactly the same policy China has on land sales to foreigners. Our simple measure would take some of the pressure off rural land prices, making it easier for New Zealand families to buy a farm, earn a living, and help pay our way in the world. Arohanui
