  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/092 of the _Ten@10_ newsletter.**\n\nHi all,\n\nThis is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n* * *\n\n## 1. Democracy Briefing: The Landlord Parliament\n\n _Bryce Edwards_\n\n  * 🏛️ New Zealand's annual Register of Pecuniary and Other Specified Interests was tabled in Parliament, revealing **271 declared properties across 121 MPs** — roughly 2.24 properties per MP.\n  * 🔵 National MPs are the most property-heavy caucus, **averaging 2.82 properties each** , with more than half owning three or more properties.\n  * 🟡 ACT and NZ First MPs also sit well above the one-home norm, while Labour MPs average lower than the governing parties.\n  * 🌿 The Greens are the outlier caucus, with **less than one property per MP on average** and several MPs declaring none at all.\n  * 🏢 The largest individual declarations include National's **Andrew Bayly and Gerry Brownlee, each with seven properties** , and Barbara Kuriger with six.\n  * 🟡 ACT Parliamentary Under-Secretary **Todd Stephenson declares six properties** across Queenstown, Wellington, Sydney, Geelong, and Te Ānau.\n  * ⚠️ The register was published the same day the Government announced **social housing tenants will be required to pay more of their income in rent** and face tighter eligibility criteria.\n  * ⚖️ Social Development Minister **Louise Upston claimed $52,000 in parliamentary accommodation allowance** last year while jointly owning a Wellington apartment with no declared mortgage debt.\n  * 🔥 Upston is simultaneously tightening the **Accommodation Supplement threshold for ordinary New Zealanders** , requiring households to contribute more before receiving support.\n  * 📰 When Stuff asked whether Upston would herself meet the **40% income-contribution threshold she is imposing on others** , she declined to answer.\n  * 💰 MPs receiving parliamentary accommodation support face no equivalent means test, despite ministerial salaries reaching **$320,600 per year**.\n  * 📊 The register reveals Parliament is **overwhelmingly asset-rich and insulated from housing insecurity** experienced by hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders.\n  * 🏛️ The article argues the housing policy debate focuses on **unfairness between low-income groups** while largely ignoring the system's tilt toward landlords and property investors.\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
