Hints the foreign buyer ban could be lifted, but not yet.

OneRoof reports rumours have been swirling with some agents telling them politicians had told them a decision to reverse the 2018 Labour policy was imminent.

Act leader David Seymour and New Zealand First MP Andy Foster were mentioned, but both deny any confirmed changes.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters told Mike Hosking it will not be in tomorrow's budget, but it won't be too long before there's an announcement.

When it comes to the man who interrupted a rail announcement, Peters doesn’t care if he loses his job.

He and Chris Bishop faced multiple hecklers at Wellington's train station yesterday while unveiling Government funding of rail.

The end of the media stand-up was derailed by an employee from the environmental and engineering consultancy Tonkin and Taylor.

The man was reportedly wearing a company lanyard at the time.

Peters told Mike Hosking it's now an employment matter.

He says the behaviour is disgraceful, and he won't put up with it inside or outside of Parliament.
