National said in the news this morning that we need to fix the COL crisis, because now people are stealing FOOD from supermarkets and abusing staff, and it doesn’t get reported to Police because it happens so often. When Jacinda was debating this a few years ago, National said that people were only stealing electronics and tobacco (not food). We are living in a Bizarro World comic right now when things Labour claimed a few years ago are now real.
They have said they will build state houses, but they haven’t elaborated on how much and what level of funding they’ll allocate to do it.
All their housing policy seems to mention is cutting the Kainga Ora land acquisition fund to help pay for their ‘build for growth’ policy (I. E. Giving councils funding for new houses to incentives them to be more accommodating to new housing, not a bad idea in of itself on the face of it tbh)
National produced negative state houses last time they were in government and presided over the massive sell off in the 90s. I do not trust their words over their track record on this.
Incidentally, when googling their housing policy to check this, I got this which isn’t related but made me lol.
Even National are promising to build state houses at this point, I doubt even Seymour would argue we don’t need them.

…Thanks National and Labour
