Not really true. I agree in some instances but govt. policies can influence the amount of foriegn investment in NZ.

True.

Really, you'd be better voting green/green. The best chance of derailing the economy quickly thorugh localised action it to not have a centre governement.
I see a Nat/Act/NZ First coalition as the most volatile and likely to self destruct. They are way more likely to turn on each other when things go bad than any other coalition (remember the first MMP alliance with National and NZ first. Broke up within a year, i think). Asian investment and immigration into NZ will slow quite alot too as the right is seen as anti-asian.
