From Stuff:
Gareth Kiernan, chief forecaster at Infometrics, said whether bringing properties that had not otherwise sold into the KiwiSaver scheme rendered it redundant depended on its aims.
"If the aim is to increase the supply of housing because we're not building fast enough and that's contributing to the affordability programme, then Phil Twyford's modus operandi to date of walking down the street, finding a house that's already being built, and slapping a KiwiBuild sticker on is patently stupid and nothing more than window dressing," he said.

All seems a bit strange
I think 'procedural' is a rather lame excuse that the Raymond Huo-chaired Justice Committe of Parliament refuses to allow Anne-Marie Brady to testify to their inquiry on potential foreign interference in our elections

Pretty much on point --COL ..time for another working group on how to run a country
It is clear that the Prime Minister's popularity, and that of her Government, has nothing to do with policy or her much heralded "year of delivery". Arden is a symbol of something more ethereal.
While Robertson keeps promising transformation, there is no obvious demand for it by voters, and change brings only political risk.
After 18 months of almost complete failure by the Government on everything from Kiwibuild and child poverty to the relationship with China, it is clear that, for many of her supporters, it doesn't matter what Ardern does, it is enough that she is.
Labour's best strategy is therefore to clear the decks of anything remotely controversial.
New Zealand voters might like their leaders talking about knowledge waves, step changes or economic transformation but they don't want the disruption those things might cause.
Like John Key on steroids, Ardern is well advised to keep well away from anything difficult and, for the next 18 months, just smile and wave.

Hasn't the PM got better things to do? Apparently, this is the only thing she was able to actually deliver on...

Putting into action what Mathew Hooton suggests what she needs to do — “Ardern is well advised to keep well away from anything difficult and, for the next 18 months, just smile and wave........and give away Metallica tickets”
And no doubt Jacinda got her free (sorry complimentary) tickets as well
And no doubt the taxpayers paid for the return flight from Hawke’s Bay to Auckland and all the other treats .....expensive photo opportunity eh

Barclay failed to get job back Now we know why.
"His unexplained suspension and subsequent resignation has caused significant political strife for Housing Minister Phil Twyford."

Really? Still "allegations" at this time.

Federated Farmers back with their next "Fart Tax" slogan, this time farmers are being treated like ATMs by the new govt. An expert has looked into the allegations and found the argument wanting.
