Major hints from the government about plans to change state houses to be low cost private homes.
John Key is due to give his state of the nation speech tomorrow.
Speaking to Newstalk ZB's Andrew Dickens, Deputy Prime Minister Bill English has confirmed a major focus of the speech will be social housing.
"The government owns seven percent of all the residential housing in Auckland. A lot of that land can be redeveloped to more efficiently supply median density and affordable housing for the Auckland market."
