There is no government plan to improve housing for all New Zealanders.
The government has put the Housing portfolio under three ministers and we now have a confused state of affairs.
The Ministers have been waffling and talking new jargon but it is all a disguise. The real purpose is to cash up state assets. That’s National’s real agenda, not housing new Zealanders.
We had the big show at Budget time of a surplus, but that was manipulated. Now the government is focusing on another asset sale to raise easy money.
The Minister of Finance Bill English has refused to specify how money from the sales will be used. He has not declared whether sales income will be put into building more houses despite long waiting lists.
Minister for Social Housing Paula Bennett has been making a lot of media appearances but what she is saying is anyone’s guess.
There was a secret plan before the election to sell off houses, but nothing was said. After all, the Prime Minister had promised Genesis was the last state asset sale.
There was no goal for the betterment of housing Kiwis, and that is why the Housing Ministers can now only talk in a confused and minimalist manner. If any other political leader had similar vague notions they would be railroaded.
