John,



Happy birthday to KiwiBuild – four years old today!



Please join us in commemorating this milestone by signing our <[link removed]>birthday card <[link removed]> for KiwiBuild <[link removed]> – Labour’s promise to build 100,000 homes and restore affordable homeownership in New Zealand.

This is a great opportunity to check in and see how progress is going, now that we are four years into ‘the largest state-backed home building programme in generations’.



To date, KiwiBuild has delivered 1,366 homes, just 98,634 shy of its target.



With 98.6% of the job left to complete, at this rate KiwiBuild will deliver 100,000 new homes for Kiwis by 2315 – just 293 years away! 



While National doesn’t want to dampen this occasion for KiwiBuild and for Labour, we have ‘a few’ concerns that things might not be moving quickly enough. 



Let’s not forget: 



- The state house waiting list has hit a record high with over 27,000 Kiwis and their families waiting for a house - up 500% since Labour came to office

- More than 4,500 Kiwi kids will wake up tomorrow living in a motel paid for by the Government. Labour has now spent $1 BILLION paying for New Zealanders to live in motels

- Kiwis are facing rent hikes of up to $150 per week on average

- The Labour Government’s out of control spending has significantly contributed to a cost-of-living crisis that is now hammering Kiwis who are facing higher mortgage payments and sky high grocery and petrol prices. 



One more thing; Kāinga Ora has removed more state homes in the past year than they have built - 599 new public homes have been delivered since 1 July 2021, but 613 have been removed. 



Labour cannot achieve anything, and KiwiBuild is the poster child of their failure to deliver.



But hey, don’t forget to sign KiwiBuild’s birthday card and watch my personal happy birthday video below.
