Yes ironic isn't it?

Still, they may not be ultimately able to work with these larger companies either. Wait for the "Oh and you need to make x% of the units affordable" or "Housing NZ will provide tenants for you" etc.

"Is this an acknowledgement that Housing NZ are not building enough? Is it an acknowledgement that KiwiBuild is a complete dud?

Or perhaps that the Kiwibuild thing was a grand lie to sucker voters?

The government's flagship housing policy KiwiBuild has faltered significantly and is now being "reset".

I wonder what the euphemism "reset" will mean in practice?

no one seems to have told the labour party webmaster yet

when will this open + transparent gov. stop with the false advertising???

"Build 100,000 affordable homes across the country

Labour’s KiwiBuild programme will build 100,000 high quality, affordable homes over 10 years, with 50% of them in Auckland. Standalone houses in Auckland will cost $500,000 to $600,000, with apartments and townhouses under $500,000. Outside Auckland, houses will range from $300,000 to $500,000."

Never let the facts get in the way of some good political spin.
