PM Luxon defends Kāinga Ora crackdown amid 600% warning increase
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says he is “going in hard” cracking down on abusive Kāinga Ora tenants with a 600% rise in warnings.
He told Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking that in the past 10 months, 63 Kāinga Ora tenancies had been terminated because of abusive, threatening, or persistently disruptive behaviour and there had been 1500 warnings issued.
What sort of Prime Minister is so weak and desperate to butch up that they need to attack state tenants and gleefully report how many he will kick out to the Ghoulish Mike Hosking?
How sad is it that Luxon is so weak that he has to bash vulnerable groups who can’t fight back?
How is this leadership?
Isn’t it just clickbait posturing and using the State to bash state tenants for the ZB Troll Farm?
He’s such an arsehole of a Prime Minister.
A rich bully who is only capable of punching down.

State tenants are lucky to live in a country that gives them a home .It is a privilege but it also has obligations to be a good neighbor. Most tenants are good people and appreciate the opportunity but some are not .Under Labour there were thousands of complaints but very few evictions,This was not fair on the good neighbors. Often these troubled tenants need mental help but that is another issue and is no reason to make good families suffer the fear of abuse.

Yet this is the result under National and the majority of New Zealanders agree people are worse off. Labour cared for all people, National wish to either lock you up or throw you on the street( as above) because it suits their 35 % voters.
Squeaky, thank you for this, rather than a simple opinion like others here you provide stories to back up your opinion, sadly it’s a lost art amongst the right.
70000 HOUSES FOR SALE ,to the highest off shore land lord .We may even throw in free entry to NZ and a couple of empty oil wells for you to clean up .Also for sale is fresh water supply to millions of people but you may have to clean up after the polluters .On those houses rent should average close to $700 per week as they are mostly high quality new builds .And you can opt out of the older ones because we can flog them to bottom feeding first home buyers for twice what you will pay us for the new ones .
Pretty tough eh. 63 evictions from some 70000 tenancies.
Like most of the things this government does. Make a lot of noise about fuck all.
I would prefer them to be telling me what a good job they were doing housing the underprivileged and underpaid and how they were closing loopholes that allow the likes of our knob of a PM to avoid paying tax.
So Trevor you say:
‘Most tenants are good people and appreciate the opportunity but some are not .’
Then you say;
‘Under Labour there were thousands of complaints but very few evictions,’
Now let us apply logic
If most tenants are good people and appreciate the opportunity THEN THERE IS NOT NEED TO EVICT THEM!
Sorry to shout but when dealing with imbeciles sometimes my patience is exhausted.
I mean do you realise you contradict yourself?
As to complaints – well I can complain that this country has far too many senile, tory bastards who waste everybody’s time with their moronic ramblings about how every bad thing can be blamed on the previous Labour government and all we have to do is wait for pie in the sky in six months time.
As for yourself you complain all the fucking time – it does not mean anyone has to act on your whinging.
I do not know many state tenants but I volunteer with a 45 year old who is . In his block of flats he wa very happy until a new tenant moved in who took an instant dislike to him .In the next few weeks my friend had nights of no sleep due to load music ,his pot plants were smashed up ,human shit on his door handle the list goes on .Complaints from him and others were not acted on .Police were called weekly and eventually he was moved . Do you think the bad tenant should have remained would you have wanted him as your neighbor.
A couple of points Trevor.
‘I do not know many state tenants’ so you admit that what you know is hearsay.
‘Police were called weekly and eventually he was moved’ so the problem was sorted but not as quickly as the person ,whose second hand grievance you quote, wanted. This 45 year old volunteer we know nothing about except he is acquainted with you.
‘Would you have wanted him as your neighbor.(?)’
Being a worker I live in a working class neighbourhood and I have state tenants living next to me, including gang members just released from prison.
I find talking to them as though they are humans, and refraining from judgement, solves difficulties, certainly nothing like your informant allegedly had.
Has it occurred to you that people’s approach to conflicts might cause difficulties?
Brilliant Stevie, the right wing don’t have compassion, they have retribution.
“If most tenants are good people and appreciate the opportunity THEN THERE IS NOT NEED TO EVICT THEM!”
D’oh. It’s not the good people who are being evicted. It’s the others.
Thank you .It is hard to understand those on let left who seem to care more for the sinner than those sinned against
.Do not evict the bad tenant do not lock up the criminal .
“It is hard to understand those on let left ”
Where the fucks Bob troll with this poor literacy?
TG, but 63 out of 70000 that just crocodile tears gaslighting like the ram raids fiasco Natzos were harping on about 18 months before the last elections which was blown way out of proportion
Tom the point is this;
‘Very few evictions’. Perhaps I could have phrased it better but I am saying tenant’s behavior is not a big problem( unless you are Trevor).
U less you are the poor sod who lives beside them and fears for their life or that of their family.
Having been in this position I can verify what Trevor says. Whether the tenants I refer to would have been evicted under Labour, we don’t know, but death and rape threats to neighbours and gross behaviour isn’t on. If the worst ones are now a bit scared, good! They probably do need mental health care which they should get
I think the point was, that Luxy made a big song and dance about all this to Hosking and if you can call it a success, it’s about all he has to crow about. Everything else he’s touched is a disaster.
A normal Prime Minister would have achieved a great deal more which they could speak about, than evicting state tenants. A normal PM would have positive things to discuss, rather than negatives.
Stevie, couldn’t have said it any better these right-wing trolls always seem to not be the sharpest knifes in the drawl
Gosh Bob troll you are obviously upset. But you must surely agree neighbours who threaten other neighbours with violence is not tolerable and action in pursuit of health and safety is necessary.
Stevie you are absolutely correct but you are up against some very mentally challenged people.
