Seymour offers to stand in for PM in housing debate
ACT Leader David Seymour has offered to take up Andrew Little’s challenge of a housing debate in Mount Albert.
“I’m happy to do the Prime Minister a favour and take his place in a housing debate against Andrew Little,” says Mr
Seymour.
“Hopefully, the Prime Minister declined the challenge simply because he’s busy. But if the real issue is a lack of ideas
from the Government, I’m happy to help out.
“ACT agrees with National that the main cause is a housing shortage. Where we differ is that we actually have a plan to
fix it, getting homes built.
“Meanwhile, Labour’s plan to punish investors and put the government in charge of home-building ignores the fundamental
causes of our housing shortage.
“Andrew Little is right about one thing: people deserve a serious debate on how we can restore housing affordability.
“Or will Andrew Little, just like the big bad wolf, only huff and puff?”
