State housing stock is very valuable since it is a legacy from the year 1935 and the foremost Labor Government’s prolific public-private partnership or association with Fletcher Construction.

With the side effects of the Great Depression that seem to have been dragging itself even further, the Government has had plans in improving the quality and standard of housing via financially supporting state rental housing all through New Zealand that will also have facilities and also public transport.

Up to the extent of the legacy being maintained or sold, in order to meet the financial deficit, is one of the most important policy differences between market-led leaders and the Governments that are socially adjustable.

The Conservative British Prime Minister, David Cameron, in the most recent times announced that a cut in housing benefits and the end on long lasting council rentals was an ‘ethical’ retort to the shortage or deficit.

The plans that have been made by him comprise replacing housing with five year rentals.

Phil Heatley, NZ’s Housing Minister thinks of comparable concerns in regards to the council and state tenancies, stating that whenever the thought of the future of social housing comes to his mind, it is always quite intimidating.
