The Minister of Housing Mark Gosche announced appointments
to Housing New Zealand and the Housing Corporation
today.
"Government is working to reintegrate housing
policy and delivery into one agency," said Mr Gosche.
"A
step towards this is to provide some common membership
between the boards of Housing New Zealand and the Housing
Corporation."
Housing New Zealand has two new board
members, Auckland business adviser Patrick Sneddon and Ngai
Tahu Corporation chief executive Paul White.
Mr Sneddon
has also been appointed to the board of the Housing
Corporation as has Housing New Zealand's current deputy
chairman Roger Bonifant.
Auckland architectural
consultant John Hill and employee relations manager Maryann
Street have also been appointed to the Housing Corporation
board.
Both boards will now have three members in common;
the current Chairman Michael Cashin, Roger Bonifant and
Patrick Sneddon.
Mr Gosche also announced that current
Housing New Zealand chairman Michael Cashin had agreed to a
temporary extension of his term.
"Michael has undertaken
his position with distinction and his term has been extended
to ensure a smooth transition."
Today's announcements
follows a decision earlier this year to integrate the boards
of Housing Corporation and Community Housing to rationalise
the number of housing organisations.

After recording a River of Freedom review the Scoop Political Podcast went into hibernation. Now with a new Government formed it’s time to dust off this forgotten silver and look at the potential impact this documentary, about the Wellington parliamentary protest of 2022 had on Election 23. Watched by potentially tens of thousands of voters in the weeks prior to the election this movie was not likely to have won votes for the then Labour government. More

In 2023, the government is clutching its pearls because senior Labour MP Damien O’Connor has dared suggest that Gaza’s civilian population - already living under apartheid and subjected to sixteen years of an illegal embargo, and now being herded together and slaughtered indiscriminately amid the destruction of their homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals - are also victims of what amounts to genocide.

“The Human Rights Commission’s appointment of a second Chief Executive is just the latest example of a taxpayer-funded bureaucracy serving itself at the expense of delivery for New Zealanders,” says ACT MP Todd Stephenson. More
New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
