Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): In reference to the first part of the question, yes, this Government is committed to addressing New Zealand's housing crisis, and Kāinga Ora are key part of our booming Government-led house build programme. Kāinga Ora have delivered an extra 8,000 warm, dry public housing places since November 2017, and 6,503 are brand new build homes. This Government is building more homes than any Government since the 1970s. In reference to the second part of the question, the inevitable concerns from private developers have been raised now that under this Government, Kāinga Ora is an active participant in the housing market—rather than just a bystander—through its land programme. However, our Government does realise that simply leaving the market to provide affordable houses for New Zealanders is exactly the type of thinking that delivered us a housing crisis.
