Interesting to read Social Housing Minister Paula Bennett's comment that tenants were disadvantaged by the present state housing system.I could not agree more,as under this government,Housing New Zealand has become a "no go area"for the thousands looking for affordable housing around the country. Many of these New Zealanders don't have the choice the minister claims.A growing number of New Zealander's live on low incomes and private landlords charge too much in rents.
It should be noted that members of the National Party earn extra income by renting out properties,keeps on increasing.It just highlights that the political class has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo,instead of strengthening the state housing system.
