Lets see......The Budget was 1400 grants per year but 8860 grants in the final two months Ending December
December quarter alone, the Ministry of Social Development spent $7.7m on emergency housing grants.
-Social Housing Minister admitted to Newshub she had "no idea" how big the problem was.
"To be honest, we just had no idea, and that's part of it. I mean, they're often hidden from us."
"The Government is renting motel rooms at a rate of $33 million a year. "
At this rate the Government will have made 36,000 grants costing $33 million in the first year instead of providing 1,400 grants costing $2 million as expected.
"The fact the Government thought $2 million would be enough for a year shows how painfully out of touch they are."

The question really becomes "can the minister actually read?"...

Or does this current cabinet's ministers require dot-to-dot puzzles for their decision making?

Where do they get these dicks and who promotes them into actual important positions?
What a fucking muppet. Pretty much par for the Labour incompetence course.

Translation: We've figured out yet another way we can charge the fuckers for the same shit AGAIN!
But it's NOT A TAX, OK?

It's interesting to hear about this "new ministry" of housing, which has the authority to over-rule local councils and laws.
This has been brought about by far too many regulations getting in the way and slowing down the application & consent process. The ACT party tried to reduce regulations, but obviously without success here.
So, now we have a new government department (as if we needed another one) which will dictate and run roughshod over local decisions at the whims, logic and reasoning of the government...
It looks like communism is alive and doing well.

You might want to aquant yourself with the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013
Which did the same thing for private developers where for instance some subdivisions didnt even need to comply with NZECP regulations for distances to transmission towers. Which was real clever wasn't it.
Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013 Which was created by the other "Communist" party led by John Key.
It also might interest you to know the ministry being created was first suggested by that other national party communist Nick Smith.https://www.interest.co.nz/property/...er-cut-throughWithin Special Housing Areas “Qualifying Developments” are provided with a more streamlined consenting process. To be considered a Qualifying Development, the development must be predominately residential, the dwellings must not be higher than 6 storeys or 27 metres, the development must contain at least the prescribed minimum number of dwellings and at least the prescribed percentage of affordable dwellings.
The criteria may be varied by an Order in Council on the recommendation of the Minister of Housing or a Housing Accord
Out of interest who do you think created the RMA

Not housing, but you might want to talk to Cantabrians about the loss of democratic process...

Why would I care? I'm not interested in petty identity based party political bullshit.
If I was there's no shortage of ammunition to lob at the current crop of socialists.
The RMA is shit policy, arsehole it.
