Here’s a quote from Phil Twyford, Minister for Building A Million Houses: “I would hope we would be turning the key in the front door of a Kiwibuild home sometime in the middle of next year.”

He said that last year when he first got into Government. The middle of next year is here, it is June, and what did he say on the news Friday night?

“We’ve got the first batch of 18 Kiwibuild houses that we expect families will be moving into them by October.”

October? Which is, of course, not the middle of the year.

The significance of October is, I heard that and I thought ‘hold on here, October is one year in’.

One year into Government, he will have 18 homes built. His promise was 10,000.

I did the maths for you – 10,000 minus 18 leaves you 9,982 short.

It’s fraud.
