                        Interesting to read in the newspapers,what many already know,that new research indicates New Zealand has some of the worst rates of homelessness in the developed world.

                         The legacy of the John Key government has just carried on. Bill English and Paula Bennett were the ministers in charge of all Social and Housing New Zealand housing  and bear a lot of the responsibly for the crisis that housing has become.They are seen as mean and compassionless  with scant regard for the poor and ordinary New Zealanders,looking for affordable accommodation.Many tenants feel angry and abandoned,as they have been made homeless and having to live in motels where conditions apply as well as cars and the streets.

                              Here in Palmerston North the Royal Hotel has closed down which makes a bad situation worse for those seeking accommodation.With an election only a matter of weeks away,use your vote to change the government as we need affordable housing now. There is no political mileage  in tax cuts they have never delivered for the poor ever.So for the sake of your children and your grandchildren vote for more housing that is affordable.
