From Morning Report, 8:36 am on 26 February 2018

RNZ has learned at least three two-storey buildings in the central Southland town of Winton have sold for less than $50,000 in the past two years. That's prompting calls for the government to reconsider the rules. RNZ Otago-Southland reporter Ian Telfer has the story.
