FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Govt Builds New Slums
"New govt bribes will extend slums and lower private property values'," says a Libertarianz spokesman of govt plans to build more expensive ghettoes.
"The building of new state housing areas to replace the old will merely replace old slums with new," says Libertarianz Housing Deregulation Spokesman Keith Patterson. "The Prime Minister's idea that new houses will somehow change the people inside and solve their problems with crime, truancy, and health is so naive it is laughable. This blatant election ploy will waste the $400 million forcibly removed from the pockets of hard-working New Zealanders."
"The state has no more need to supply housing than it does to supply food or telephones," said Mr Patterson, "the best thing it can do is to get out of the way of private industry, as it is nothing more than an overpaid middleman!"
