Chris Bishop: Housing Minister on the new plan to cut costs in Kainga Ora

The Government's set to sell off high-priced Kainga Ora homes in an effort to bring its books down.  It's reviewing state housing stock, focusing on expensive areas.  Its new cost-saving plan includes the sale of around 900 homes a year, with the money to go to more low-cost, denser places with greater demand.  Housing Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking they want to be more deliberate with their purchasing.  He says 50% of people on the register just need a one-bedroom unit, so they don't need to be building lots of three bedrooms.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
