“More and more of our people are unable to put a roof over their head, showing we urgently need more state and public housing.
“We are seeing the direct consequences of successive Governments not putting the wellbeing of New Zealanders first. The Greens are working hard to fix this up.
“The Greens as part of this Government are negotiating a major overhaul of our social support system, so that enough is provided for all New Zealanders to live with dignity.
“When more and more New Zealanders are joining the queue to find a home because they can’t afford to rent or own, it is clear that the current support system is broken.
“I look forward to the results from the Welfare Expert Advisory Group, which are due soon, and further Government reforms in housing and tenants’ rights.
“We will continue to work closely with Labour and NZ First to ensure that all New Zealanders have a safe home to live in and enough to get by”.
