The National Party is promising to axe swathes of jobs and “clean out” Kāinga Ora, the Government’s social housing landlord and developer.

When asked if there will be job losses at the agency, he said: “Hope so”.

Kāinga Ora was set up four years ago, and derailing it now would be “stupid”, Bill McKay, a senior lecturer in architecture and planning at the University of Auckland, explained.

Anything but that. This annoys me so much. Its a massive drain on resources to be paying motel rates, it screws up tourism because there's no vacancies, its bad for the people in there because it's temporary living and not a home, its bad for motel owners..
