  1. ‘Let’s hope for the sake of the housing crisis, the inequality crisis, the poverty crisis and the climate crisis that those tofu crumbs are worth it.’

    Maybe worldwide dismay and condemnation will spur Jacinda to do something:

    ‘The United Nations has described the housing shortage as “a human rights crisis”. “They allowed the perfect storm, and that’s successive governments, UN special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing, Leilani Farha told the Guardian during a visit to New Zealand this year.

    She was surprised that New Zealand had such entrenched issues with homelessness, housing affordability and poor-quality homes despite its progressive left-leaning government led by Jacinda Ardern.

    Farha visited an Auckland marae that has housed homeless families, cramped motels in the Hutt Valley, near Wellington used as emergency housing, and boarding houses she described as “deplorable”.

  2. “worldwide dismay and condemnation”.. And then the coup de grace, “She was surprised that New Zealand had such entrenched issues with homelessness, housing affordability and poor-quality homes despite its progressive left-leaning government led by Jacinda Ardern”.. Are these people really that shallow?… Nine years, count ’em…NINE YEARS of exploitation by an American operative, protected by both the Murdoch press, the colonial press, and the heavy hitters within the Obama administration… Namely Joe Biden for one… THAT had no part in creating the biggest property bubble this country, and most other countries have ever seen?… This is just the same tired old bullshit the tory press uses every time a government is elected to try to clean up the mess left behind by the tory/colonial exploiters… “they aren’t fixing it fast enough, get rid of them!!”.. Different year, same old shit… It’s all so boringly predictable, self serving, and utterly transparent….

  3. IM, not a gambler, long story. Shall we walk alone, why, look at the outcome, our vote and our frends are they our, Friend!s, shall we allow them part of us,or, shall we open our arm!s.
