[RoyalOui]

Celebrated investor Warren Buffett has spoken of Ms. Bair with great admiration and respect -- specifically with respect to her actions in the recent crisis. She is certainly an impressive communicator.

Now almost half of all bank assets are mortgages on land and houses. That's up from just over 40% five years ago. That's because of the huge boom in house prices and the bank lending that went with it.

Banks now have NZ$148.3 billion of mortgages. That's double what it was 5 years ago.
