It's at "but her emails" levels of delusion. Central government has fuck all ability to do anything about Auckland's housing, the end. If you think that the National Party is to blame for Auckland's housing problems that means that you are ignorant (solution: learn how government works) or you just really want to blame National for everything including mass extinctions (solution: none).
Again, for the millionth time... NZ does not have a housing crisis. Auckland has a housing crisis. Auckland's housing problems can be solved by
- expanding the city outwards; or
- expanding the city upwards; or
- euthanising a million people*
The Christchurch rebuild has proven that the construction industry is ready and waiting to build shit fast WHEN IT'S ALLOWED TO. The reason that it's not working on building Auckland out and/or up and thereby fixing the Auckland housing crisis is because IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO. The permission it needs can not come from central government. It is NOT A FUCKING CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ISSUE.
* ok, I concede that this is something that central government could in theory do, but you know, OPTICS.
