Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): We have long called the housing situation in New Zealand a crisis. I'm pleased the member now shares this view. New Zealand has a longstanding shortage of homes, caused by a lack of investment in the infrastructure needed for new housing and Government investment in new housing. This is why the Government has stopped the previous Government's sale of State houses; has delivered 6,000 additional public homes since we came into office; and is investing in 18,000 more homes by 2024. It's why we set up the National Policy Statement on Urban Development, commissioned the comprehensive review of the Resource Management Act, and are now implementing its findings. It's why we're investing in the infrastructure needs for new homes—such as the New Zealand Upgrade Programme—and shovel-ready projects, and legislated the Infrastructure Funding and Financing Act. We're starting to see some progress, with annual new home construction at its highest level since 1974. There is more to do, including for renters, and we've been upfront on that and will continue that work in the new year.
