  • Housing crisis to blame for child rheumatic fever cases

    November 07, 2016 10:08 AM
    Children in Auckland are falling ill with rheumatic fever as a direct result of the Government’s failure to address the housing crisis and child poverty, the Green Party said today. Figures released today show the number of children with rheumatic fever in the Auckland and Waitemata district health board areas has stayed at the same level, despite a Rheumatic Fever Prevention Programme running for five years now. “This is a stark reminder that the housing crisis isn’t going away, and...

  • Government’s housing plans ring hollow

    October 26, 2016 11:01 AM
    The Government’s Auckland housing plans lack substance and are years behind where they should be, the Green Party said today. Bill English has said he has no information about how much land he plans to sell off as part of planned redevelopments, and can’t say how many new houses will be sold at affordable prices, in answers to written parliamentary questions from the Green Party. “The Minister responsible for Housing NZ has no idea how much land he’s going to...

  • Runaway house prices ruining first-home buyers’ dreams

    October 13, 2016 12:03 PM
    A new national median of over half-a-million dollars puts a first home well out of reach for too many New Zealanders, the Green Party said today.

  • Broke Housing New Zealand a symbol of National’s economic failures

    James Shaw October 13, 2016 10:17 AM
    Reports that Housing New Zealand is about to run out of money, just as it’s supposed to be building new houses to alleviate the housing crisis, is a symptom of National’s economic mismanagement, the Green Party said today. “Bill English has run Housing New Zealand into the ground and now he’s going to have to do an emergency bail-out,” Green Party Co-leader James Shaw said. “Bill English should have used Housing New Zealand to kick-start a Government-building programme back in...

  • Will Bill English’s houses cost a million dollars each?

    October 12, 2016 9:40 AM
    Bill English owes it to prospective first-home buyers to name a price for the houses the Government is proposing to build and sell in Auckland, the Green Party said today. “Aucklanders need to be able to trust the Government to build houses they can afford, but so far National hasn’t delivered on anything they’ve promised,” Green Party Co-leader Metiria Turei said. “If the Government’s plan to fix the housing affordability crisis is to build houses that will sell at market...

    October 10, 2016 9:37 AM
    Labour, the Green Party and the Māori Party are calling on the Government to immediately adopt the 20 recommendations set out in today’s Ending Homelessness in New Zealand report. This morning, the Cross-Party Inquiry into Homelessness has released its final report. Over the last several months the Inquiry has received hundreds of written and oral submissions from around New Zealand, which have been brought together into one report along with a set of 20 recommendations. Notable recommendations include: Rolling out...

  • New government-built houses must be affordable

    October 10, 2016 9:32 AM
    Bill English should release the details of the new houses he says will be built by the Government, including how affordable they’ll actually be, the Green Party said today. Finance Minister Bill English has announced that the Government’s building programme in Auckland will increase under the Unitary Plan, after years of insisting the Government shouldn’t be building houses itself. “It looks like National may have finally discovered how to build houses, just in time for the election next year, but...

  • Growing number of renting households deserve security

    Metiria Turei October 07, 2016 12:45 PM
    Statistics NZ announced today that the number of households who rent is growing more than twice as fast as the number of owner-occupied households, and now comprises 32.9 percent of all households. Renting households have increased by 13,700 in the past year, while owner occupied households have only increased by 6,000. “With a third of all households renting their home, by choice or because they can’t afford to buy in the broken Auckland property market, we should update the renting...
