I don’t trust the National Party on housing, but I was still shocked to see reports tonight that they’re going to scrap the First Home Grant. Throughout our time in Govt they pushed us to expand the grant. Now it’s gone to pay for tax cuts. Hypocrites, plain and simple.

We have two choices when it comes to Three Waters - reform or ignore. If we reform, we get what we need at a price we can afford. If we ignore then we're buggered. Councils won't be able to afford it, so it won't get done.

The Government has yet again failed to do the one thing that needs to happen to ensure social houses can be built – commit to ongoing funding. Across the country developments are being cancelled because of funding uncertainty. They could have sorted that today, they chose not to.

The National Party went around the country telling councils they’ll repeal water reform & instead prop councils up. Now we see they haven’t accounted for a cent of funding in their fiscal plan. This u-turn will result in one thing - massive rates hikes.
