At the same time, there were 191,646 unoccupied houses on census night in 2018—38,000 of those ghost houses were in Auckland. At least 12,000 tangata whenua are homeless in their homeland. This is one of the most significant Treaty breaches of today. We have created a generation of renters and we are holding them hostage with the very real prospect of homelessness. Te Paati Māori will continue to push for bold solutions to the housing crisis, including taxing unearned wealth through capital gains and a ghost house tax; we will massively increase the construction of State houses while enabling papa kāinga housing at scale through regular reforms and increased investment; and we will stop all sales of freehold land to offshore foreign interest.
