State housing is like winning lotto

Only because we haven't built enough of them for decades. This is why we should build much more of them

No! We need to crack down on beneficiaries! We need less state housing! The free market will do a better job at...

Sorry, I can't keep going. I was going to end with a /s but I just can't do it.

Even National are promising to build state houses at this point, I doubt even Seymour would argue we don't need them.

National said in the news this morning that we need to fix the COL crisis, because now people are stealing FOOD from supermarkets and abusing staff, and it doesn't get reported to Police because it happens so often. When Jacinda was debating this a few years ago, National said that people were only stealing electronics and tobacco (not food). We are living in a Bizarro World comic right now when things Labour claimed a few years ago are now real.

...Thanks National and Labour
