But they sold more, the data shows - 2728. Overall, the number of state houses fell during National's nine years in power - something previous housing spokesperson Nicola Willis said was a mistake.
The same document says since the Labour-led Government took the reins in 2017, 3064 have been built by Kāinga Ora and 507 by community housing providers. Stuff reported earlier this month they've sold 146.
So Labour did more in 3 years than National did in 9 years for housing stock.
