I’m sorry, what?
NZ Election 2020: Greens’ housing policy ‘wishful thinking’ – National’s Jacqui Dean
The Green Party’s latest housing policy is “more wishful thinking”, National’s housing spokesperson Jacqui Dean says.
The Greens announced its new policy ‘Homes For All’ on Sunday, which promises to deliver warm, dry and affordable homes for all Kiwis no matter whether someone rents or owns a house.
The Green Housing Policy is solid enough, increase the amount that can be borrowed by Government agencies to build more state houses will produce more state houses, and considering the history of the housing crisis under National you would wonder where the hell they get off, but this particular Housing Spokesperson was only last month telling bold faced lies on The AM Show that her Party had built 30 000 new state houses!!!
Dean falsely claimed on The AM Show last month National built 30,000 state houses during its nine years in Government.
“In our last term of Government we did build 30,000 emergency housing, state housing homes. We had a number of state housing homes in the pipeline, ready for when Labour came into office. Roughly half of those that they have built were already in the pipeline under National.”
National later told Newshub Dean had made a mistake, and she instead was meant to say the party built “more than 3000 state and community homes” during its time in Government.
National have zero credibility on State Housing, to attack another Party’s policy as ‘wishful thinking’ is like Trump criticising consent education.
Shut up National.

No party has any credibility on housing period! Unless you want to build these houses in the boondocks or build 20 story slum towers land supply cost in our major centers makes all these announcements the equivalent of a Miss World contestant telling the world she wants to fix world poverty.
Yes, shut up National.
Back in Michael Savages day they created the State Insurance whereby new home buyers could borrow from government assets and that borrowed money was paid back at very low rates – 3% to be exact apparently at one point, see Bryan Bruce’s excellent documentary.

No wonder the neo liberals wanted to change all that – it prevented them and their capitalist buddies from getting their filthy maws all over other peoples cash and reaping massive profits from private speculators and shareholders.
When you have rotten broken down ratholes with huge price tags attached for rents, when you have family’s living in cars, when you have a whole generation locked out of ever owning a house, – decade after decade of it,- then its time to give the old heave ho to the pirates and be in accordance with the U.N to which we were signatories, – that is, – that everyone has the human RIGHT to live in a warm , dry and affordable home.
Shut up, National.
FFS @ Marty Martian, You’re going to have a coronary event before you’re due if you let this sort of shite exercises you as much as it does. I’m sure you’re “passionate” at what you do – just like most of THEIR spin artists proclaim how fucking “passionate” their agendas are. (They must have really shit, transactional, boring, un-ro!!! ooooops “mis”-romantic love lives). Fuk ’em! It’s more than probable they’ll fuck themselves up with changing demographics (the ones they were perfectly happy to capatise and monetise on not so very long
ago).
Fuk ’em! (But pardon me if you will – I’ve got to get back to Ali, and the Wallruss and whoever the other sage is on RNZ’s The Panel – it might CHANGE moi loif in this space going forwid).
National have every right to criticise every party. They lost the last election on housing , amongst other infrastructure failures. They lost the election and everybody and every party has poked a stick at them ever since. Then along come the greens who are going to solve the problem when knowing they’ll never be a major party. Never have to put their ideas into action. Labour got into Government by accident and suddenly had to do something about their fuckwit promises. Three years later nothing apart from building a few houses by accident and pinching a bit of National policy now another election is looming. Excuse me if I’m a bit cynical but. Please.

You need to understand that on this forum you may not ever criticize anything Labour or Jacinda. Taboo.
So then, I’d like to commend Labour and Jacinda on their fantastic housing achievements and the incredible reduction in child poverty. Amazing. Player of the Day certificate!
Also to the Greens, well done for sticking to your (hemp) knitting, ditching the Armani suits and strongely focussing on environmental issues and showing a willingness to work with any political party to get you policies pushed through. Gold star!
Maybe we could ask the imaginary homeless man that stayed in Michael Woodhouses imaginary Hotel what he thinks of Nationals housing crisis from 2011. He would probably tell you to build houses in Steven Joyces imaginary 11 billion dollar hole.
Unless of course he has been asked already and Hamish Walker has leaked the information.
Judith’s new vision for fixing Nationals housing crisis however is for your vehicle license to show if your insured or not, whether you own your own home, or whether your an overseas investor who lives off shore, now there’s a sure fire vote winner, right there.
for your vehicle license to show if your insured or not,
Because that vehicle would in many cases be their home address.
Can’t think why there’s a fuss about housing. I had it on good authority from 2011 on there was no housing crisis. There was a National Party Comprehensive Housing Plan though. I got that from Steven Joyce and Bill English and Nick Smith and John Key and their hangers on. There were no real problems with housing until 2017. Would those fine upstanding people not have had a handle on things? Would they have lied just a tad? Or slightly misled.
And if the Labour party had said, “There is no housing crisis, National Party has an amazing Comprehensive Housing Plan? We know that because Steven Joyce and Bill English and Nick Smith and John Key and their hangers on have told us that? Therefore we are not going to do anything special about housing as there is no need?”
Bill and Steven and Nick would have been able to carry on with God’s work.
” Shut up National ”
No FUCK OFF NATIONAL !!!!!!!!
The Greens Housing policy sounds good and may well get off the ground. It reads as though it is intended to be supplementary to any main housing policy of the govt of the day, neither competing with whatever main ‘build’ policy of the govt, nor countering it.
The thing that seems to be missing is any particular emphasis on that housing being “green” or sustainable, as in requiring rain water tanks for each dwelling, eg, and access to a plot of land to grow veggies (whether private or shared by community). Those are two things that imo should be essentials from now on. Also, wherever feasible, some solar panels, enough to make a start down the green energy lane.
The Home cover is like food water care cover/ a progressive human right spoken long before our temporary space on this planet that humanity is surviving. On these told stories about our being humanity our social sharing heartbeat blood breath, It would be world shaking no matter what constructed governance to legislate no change like the one that this present Governance says, build what is needed social affordable housing. Only a committed society would proper enshrine that tied to society!s need for social housing, understanding- the social need of those who will profit in our progressive capitalist place. Nice thought, but as the way things are impossible.
