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.

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.

The Government is increasing rents, tightening housing support and criminalising homelessness while ministers claim thousands in housing allowances themselves.

The Greens say young people leaving state care should never be abandoned into homelessness while emergency housing systems collapse around them.

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.

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.

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