National asked to explain where evicted Kāinga Ora tenants would go

From Morning Report, 8:19 am on 12 September 2023

The National Party is under pressure to explain where evicted anti-social Kāinga Ora tenants would go. 

The party says it would direct Kāinga Ora to evict and relocate repeat and serious anti-social people with extra support to manage their behaviours.

But with a tight rental market, changing criteria for emergency accommodation, and a long waiting list for social housing - those tenants' destination is unclear. 

National's housing spokesperson Chris Bishop spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
