Housing should be the Governments No 1 Priority!

Press Release.

Housing should be the Governments No 1 Priority!

We listen to all our politicians telling us what they are going to do for us in this election year but in reality when voted in the majority do little or nothing. New Zealand is in a crisis, there are simply not enough houses being built to cater for New Zealanders let alone the influx of immigrants into this country.

Our Housing Minister Nick Smith has been telling us that things are improving but try telling that to all those people who cannot find accommodation anywhere.

Auckland is bursting at the seams and house prices are going through the roof but still we see over 71,000 immigrants being allowed to come into New Zealand. This simply has to stop and Government has to realise that this sugar fix they are on with immigration is hurting everyday Kiwi’s. They will have to suck on a bitter pill for a few years and reduce immigration until both housing and infrastructure catch up with demand.

New Zealand is for New Zealanders and unless our elected representatives do something shortly this housing crisis will continue to escalate out of control and our younger generation will NEVER be able to own their own homes.

September will give every eligible New Zealand voter the opportunity to vote for the Party they want to run the country for the next 3 years. May I suggest you take a long look at what was promised and what has actually been achieved by our current politicians over the past 3 years and cast your vote accordingly?
