New Zealand’s youngest MP is a property owner – but you would not know it from looking at the official register of MPs’ financial interests. It showed that the bulk of MPs are property investors, and that only a small number do not own a home at all. Only five Labour MPs, three Green MPs and one ACT MP declare no interest in any real estate. One of them was 26-year-old Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick, who cited only KiwiSaver and managed fund investments. A Green Party spokesperson said there was nothing remiss in the apartment not being included.
