Housing NZ should apologise for meth evictions - Little

From Morning Report, 6:47 am on 31 May 2018

Justice Minister Andrew Little says Housing New Zealand should apologise to tenants it threw out of their homes based on bogus meth testing. The Prime Minister's chief science adviser, Sir Peter Gluckman, says there's no evidence of illness from third-hand exposure to methamphetamine. Mr Little was asked by reporters at Parliament whether he thought tenants have any comeback against Housing New Zealand. Both the Housing Minister, Phil Twyford, and Housing New Zealand, say there are no plans to compensate tenants evicted based on the now discredited meth tests.
