NICOLA WILLIS (National): New Zealand is facing a housing emergency. Imagine if this Parliament took it as seriously as we have our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Imagine if this Parliament acted with the urgency and the seriousness with which we have acted in our response to COVID-19. What would that look like? We would address the causes of our housing shortage, not just the symptoms. We would work together across this House on the solutions, not just resort to petty politics, and we would treat New Zealanders with intelligence and respect, not try and fool them with half-thought-through hoaxes like KiwiBuild but instead make the serious, long-term changes needed to ensure that the next generation of New Zealanders, indeed today's young people, can afford to buy a house in this country.
