I have already spoken of their special legislative favours that back ‘build to rent’ private developers to help fix the affordable housing crisis. I have already identified the many profitable markets private enterprise will build for that are not the affordable housing market. And we know private enterprise doesn’t build enough affordable housing because they haven’t, which is why we have the crisis.

And Labour is bringing back worker imports with the effect of reducing the wages and related potential training opportunities of New Zealand workers.
