We heard about Te Au Taketake, which is a Government housing package, and of the $3.8 billion allocated to accelerate housing supply with programmes such as first-home grants, extension of the brightline test with an extension on new builds, and extending the apprenticeship boost to further support trades training. We heard about the changes in rules to limit deductions on interest expenses and that the biggest contributor to renting pressure was supply. We were told that there is a multiplicity of challenges in the housing sector and that COVID-19 has significantly affected these challenges.
