Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: We have a public housing build programme that is the largest of any Government since the 1970s. One of the points of both sadness and frustration for us as a Government, however, is that we are making up for the squandered opportunities of the previous Government. Not only did they end up with 1,500 fewer houses than they started with, but if they had built at the same rate as we did, there would be over 22,000 more public houses in New Zealand today, accounting for 85 percent of the current waiting list. So, while we are pulling every lever, unfortunately we are playing catch-up for the gutting of public housing by the previous National Government.
