Recent actions are helping the PM and cabinet pin housing problems on council, not themselves.
"The brutal reality is that Auckland needs to accommodate a lot more people. So [councillors] are going to have to address those issues. How they do it, I don't know.
"If they can't find a solution, would the Government do something? Well, technically. But I would prefer that the council found a way through its own problems."
Thanks a bunch, numpties.

Le Spinoff has a piece including actual video of the meeting - judge the crowd for yourself. Warning: highly biased story.

it seems quite a few do love the prospect of life in a "sleepy village" and they are not alone.
So why do we need to bribe migrants?

Conclusion: there has to be an effort to create permanent, meaningful jobs in the provinces before any attempt to divert migration flows away from Auckland can have any impact at all.
Agreed.

Hard News: So what now?, in reply to Steve Barnes,
the provinces would love the financial and entrepreneurial input of those that want to make a new start
Yet most of those people do not love the prospect of life in a sleepy village with few of their own culture. Hence having to bribe some of them with points to go there for even a limited time.

Simon Wilson has to some degree discredited himself, same as Bernard Hickey has, with these exaggerations about “heckling”, “shouting” and so forth
It's exactly what I heard from the microphones of submitters who had the crowd behind them - and I was surprised. Those mics aren't set up to collect quiet 'murmurs' as you've characterised them. Some rare loud rude folk in the gallery, is all.

Hard News: So what now?, in reply to Marc C,
we will withdraw from the hearing process, apart from perhaps presenting legal evidence
ah, their experts explicitly said they won't be presenting evidence.

Hard News: So what now?, in reply to Marc C,
defending Council as being the good faith acting vested interest party. They want intensification and growth, because they want more residents
Again, please stop making this ridiculous claim.
