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.
I don’t think underfunding them is going to help.
It’s unlikely to even save money, as it’s going to cost the taxpayer more in motels and shady private lodging houses, let’s not forget a private lodge burnt down too and killed people.
It’s also going to cost more in endless medical bills for child respiratory infections, some of which cause lifelong complications.
