Yup - issued by a government department but spun by Ardern & Labour into BS stats.
This was in the press release - "Since October 2017, there has been a
net increase of 12,017 public homes, with 9,917 of these being new builds (as at April 2023)."
Where are the 12,017 NET INCREASE? Kainga Ora shows 9,013 so whose number is correct?
Where is the fact check by the corrupted ms media?
Note too that most of the net increase are in the 1 and 2 bedroom units (apartments in other words) - the private sector would have delivered at well under KO's costs, inflated by the 70% increase in staff numbers and their gross incompetencies.
The housing shortage has become a crisis under Labour - something which the private sector had done a decent job of containing during National. Now there are tens of thousands of families languishing in the waiting list or in emergency housing - that is a fact.
