John Campbell slams Poto Williams for lack of progress on home affordability

[Wainuiguy]

So you admit they have no policies that decrease rents.

Just quietly, we're still waiting for you to explain how Labour caused all this mess. All you've done is deflect by using some curious anti-logic approach which probably explains why everyone has got bored with you today.

For those playing at home, you've used least two fallacies: the good ol' strawman and an appeal to ignorance. Impressive work.

Maybe your next fishing trip will go better

All the policies they have implemented in the last 5 years around housing have forced rents up.

Removal of interest deductions 
Healthly homes initiatives - good idea but it was always going to end with Tennants paying more
Removal of depreciation on rentals
Introduction of a CGT aka extension of the brightline rule

Just some of what they did to add compliance costs to landlords.  Those cost were always going to be paid by tenants- they were warned of this by multiple sources including IRD and Treasury but pushed ahead anyway.

Certainly their policies increased them.

ummm, not sure I admitted to that at all, but this might help you find the answers you seek...

Nope most of that just confirms their ineptitude.
