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.

    Maybe, but National is basically promising to spend more money on putting families in motels again.

        A few months back I was an undecided voter. Now I think I’ll vote for the status quo and wait for a better offer to come along next election.

        Labour has actually made some important changes that support a long term better country. This National’s policies as so short sighted they don’t seem to look past the election that’s just next month.

        That’s because they will base national policy on the fact that one KO house burned down and you hate people who live in them.
