Government buys motel in bid to ease housing crisis in Wellington
10 Mar 2020

With a 1618-long waiting list for social housing in the region, the government is dipping its toe in the motel market.

Yeah I've got that you call HNZ like this. I'm just interested in origin of the phrase "kraponya allya"? krap-o-nalia or something?

[Perry]

Just a random made-up thing.

No etymological origins lurk therein.
