Indians making 'outsized' contribution to New Zealand's prosperity

James O’Brien2026-07-09T06:34:15.000Z

Good on them. We need more people actually getting stuck in and building stuff.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-09T06:49:15.000Z

$37 billion? Yeah right. Wonder how much of that is just from them buying houses we can't afford.

Jack Morrison2026-07-09T07:24:15.000Z

don't blame immigrants for housing, blame the bloody council and developers.

My Indian neighbours run a dairy and a cleaning business, absolute legends. Always helping out.

Jack Morrison2026-07-09T07:12:15.000Z

I work on a construction site, half the crew are Indian lads. Work harder than most Kiwis I know tbh.

Sophie Ngata2026-07-09T07:49:15.000Z

Right? My neighbour works 80 hour weeks. Meanwhile some people moan about the price of avo on toast.

James O’Brien2026-07-09T07:25:15.000Z

Yeah nah, get stuffed with the negativity. We're all Kiwis at the end of the day.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-09T07:33:15.000Z

being negative, just stating facts mate. Housing crisis is real.

Cameron Diaz2026-07-09T07:39:15.000Z

Interesting report. Would be good to see how other immigrant communities compare.

They're welcome here as long as they pay tax and don't complain about everything.

Noah Bennett2026-07-09T08:47:15.000Z
