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

[Wainuiguy]

Hahahahaha your last words are But, but, but, National!  

But yes you and right supply is the issue.  Where was Labour when National wanted to amend the RMA?  As said previously  and you failed to address then, these changes are very similar to the ones Labour want to introduce now but that would have occured 7 years ago.  Too stupid playing petty politics to help solve try and solve the issue.

And many landlords couldn't make the numbers work so sold their rentals.  Creating further stress on the rental market.

Of course you won't rebut this because you had for final words.  But, but, but National!  The cry of the loser left.

You've yet to explain just how Labour is solely responsible for the present housing situation. 

Hardly surprising, since as has been said by several posters now, both Labour & National are responsible due to their policies over the last few decades. Both parties  embraced Neo liberalism, as has happened in some other western countries.

And once again, for the weak of understanding, please point out where I said they are solely responsible? 

They aren't however they ARE RESPONSIBLE for what has occurred in the last 5 years.  They campaigned on houses for all, lower rents and better houses for tennants.  I guess 1 of 3 is OK?

The key from the original clip John Campbell asking the Deputy Minister to say if they were in opposition now what would they be saying?  Going to do my best Lee Child impression:

Williams said nothing.

"The biggest building programme in modern history."
where dat?

it's a work in progress but it's happening

So what I see is private enterprise getting on and doing something this government couldn't do - build houses.

Of course bit of a difference between consent and a house actually being built.

Just to throw into the mix - the last 2 Labour Goverments have overseen both the largest increases in house values and rents withe this government overseeing record increases in both.
