Kāinga Ora is now a sad joke looking for a punchline
Kāinga Ora is being accused of abandoning its public housing purpose as developments are scrapped, properties sold off and homelessness deepens.

Kāinga Ora is being accused of abandoning its public housing purpose as developments are scrapped, properties sold off and homelessness deepens.

The Greens say Luxon is turning homelessness into a policing issue after policies they argue pushed more people onto the streets.

Labour says National’s crackdown on rough sleeping won’t solve homelessness, it will just push vulnerable people out of city centres and into the suburbs.

Student debt, impossible rents and collapsing home ownership aren’t accidents, they’re the economic architecture of modern New Zealand, and young people are paying for it.

The economy built on housing speculation, privatisation and cheap growth is colliding with climate chaos, energy shocks and public exhaustion.

More than 1,100 Kāinga Ora jobs have already gone. Now the Government wants to centralise maintenance teams while tenants wait longer for repairs.

National wants credit for rents going down. The ugly truth? Rents are softening because Kiwis are leaving, demand is collapsing, and the economy is bleeding.

Aucklanders were told public transport was the future. Now many are staring at a half-finished rail project, endless congestion and another delayed promise.

If the economy is doing so well, why does it feel like most people are drowning? Chlöe Swarbrick says the system is working exactly as designed: for the wealthy.

New Zealand isn’t drifting apart by chance. Decades of economic policy and population pressure are tearing at the social fabric.
