COVID has not only highlighted the injustices in society but made it far worse. As economist Bernard Hickey has reported, the Government's COVID policies made the rich $952 billion richer, while the poor have been forced with a $400 million further in debt to the Government itself. The poor now need more than twice as many food parcels as before COVID. As prices continue to rise much faster than wages, it is Māori, as always, who bear the brunt of capitalism's failures. This is clear when looking at the housing market. We are seeing the biggest wealth transfer in generations: from hardworking whānau to greedy property developers and landlords. Since 1986, the number of Māori forced to rent has increased by 88.3 percent; 70 percent of Māori cannot afford homes and are living in rentals; one-third of Māori live in houses considered damp and/or overcrowded; Māori make up 50 percent of the waiting list for social housing; 30 percent of Māori pay rent that is over 30 percent of their weekly income; and 33 percent of Māori will shift residence every three years.
