And here's another reason why people think the country's going in the wrong direction: this Government was elected to fix housing. I have to admire the Prime Minister for her incredible chutzpah, getting up in her speech and talking about what the Government's going to do about housing. Well, maybe it's not bravery; maybe it's contempt for New Zealanders and an assumption of gullibility. The truth is that under this Government, the average house price has gone up $387,000, 58 percent. The gap between homeowners and non-homeowners has skyrocketed under a Labour Government, increasing inequality because they're incompetent at policy.
