Sigh…. David see no more, the plan will result in nothing being done to resolve the housing crisis and unprecedented homelessness, while billions of dollars that John key will have to borrow gets siphoned off into foreign government coffers. Wake up and smell the reality of the last 8 years !!!

Lol yep !!

OK, we’ll agree to disagree.

I’m not so sure about this Bomber. The truth is there are empty state houses all around the country. But people don’t want to live in them because they are not enough jobs available where the houses are (and vice versa).

Perhaps the public housing a forward-looking government builds would be either mobile or modular. For example, ‘tiny houses’ that can be easily moved on wheels to a site close to where they work, or cheaply disassembled where they aren’t need and reassembled where they are. I can imagine farms on the edge of Auckland being turned into temporary suburbs, which can be turned back into farms when the oil-driven food industry tanks, and people start leaving the cities to live closer to food production.

With an open cheque book I’m sure Murray McCulley could fix the housing crisis although not so sure how much blood would be spilt.
And you are right DSM, with the amount of corruption going on in this government, the left can’t win.

Yep that will fix the housing CRISIS. The colossus that is the Act party and it’s loopy tax ideas will fix all ills. If, as you say, we have a flawed democracy, then you concur that National is undemocratic?
You are very mischievous with your rant of the left(it’s what the right always do) when moaning that the left want the right to do something about the CRISIS. The left want the government to do something MEANINGFUL about the housing crisis, not as many commentators are stating placing bandaids over the cracks. Surely National have got more intelligent people other than the blubbering Nick Smith and the biggest beneficiary in Paula Benefit to oversee the housing portfolio. Maybe even someone in the Act party could, oh that’s right, they only have one.

Absolutely right KD, daylight robbery.

Asset sales money is being used to pay for tax cuts in 2017 (year of election, or on April 1st of 2018).

Do you think New Zealanders will be fooled by the tax cut bribe, paid for by “Mum and Dad” investors buying half the Power Assets?

Nope. Kiwis, like elephants, have long memories, but not quite as big in the ear department.

Chinese investment in Auckland via IUD’s …

First you want the coalition of the “RIGHT” to do something about the housing crisis.

Second, when they do come up with a plan to fix things, the LEFT will whinge and carp and moan.

Best thing to do next election is to vote ACT and the 20-20-20% tax ingeniousness will fix all ills in this flawed democratic system.

Fatty you are just full of it, your hate will eat you up alive and get you nowhere, and your assumptions could very well be wrong too.

Go to Labour’s website, where it also states that more detailed policy will not be announced until the election, which is the proper thing to do, so you will have to wait. Phil Twyford didn’t lose respect, he’s gained much by taking on National, Labour were correct in what they are saying. You live in Auckland, you see it with your own 2 eyes. Labour are not lying, but National and John key sure are.
