You have more chance of winning lotto than getting a state house or any help from this Government
Nicola Willis says State housing tenants have won Lotto. Funny, because most of them are still waiting for a safe roof and a Government that cares.

While centrists manage decline, Zohran Mamdani is rolling out public supermarkets, confronting monopoly power and giving working people something Labour forgot how to offer: hope.

When families can’t afford food, power or rent, National’s answer is to cut the last bit of support keeping them afloat.

The Greens say National is balancing its Budget on the backs of public housing tenants, beneficiaries and disabled New Zealanders.

Labour says National is forcing vulnerable social housing tenants to pay for Budget savings through higher rents and reduced support.
The State is taking money from beneficiaries and handing it to debt collectors while taxpayers fund emergency support to keep those same people afloat.

After cutting housing and social support, the Government now wants police powers to move on and punish the homeless its own policies helped create.

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.
