Nowhere is that more apparent than in housing, because very interesting stats released last night by Statistics New Zealand: average rents—median rents—up 50 bucks a week in the last year—$50. In Lower Hutt, my area, average rents in Lower Hutt are up $200 a week in four years—200 bucks a week. That is $10,000 a year for the average family: $375 a week in October 2017, now $575 a week in December 2021. The average house in Lower Hutt is a million bucks—$1 million. When I became an MP, you could buy a house in Wainuiōmata—good, solid suburb—for $280,000, $300,000. Houses in Wainuiōmata now go for over $850,000. I see the MP for Ikaroa-Rāwhiti there, who represents that area; she knows what I'm talking about. In Wainuiōmata, 850,000, 900,000 bucks. There are, in Lower Hutt, 588 families on the social housing register. That is up from 200. It's 200 more than there should be, but it has trebled in four years. There are children growing up in motels in the Hutt Valley—children growing up in motels. The Government will say, "Yep. We inherited a bad situation." That's true. But things are not better; they are demonstrably worse. They are going backwards, not forwards.
