Description

The Government's celebrating Kāinga Ora seeing a 600 percent rise in warnings under a new tenant crackdown. 

Sixty-three Kāinga Ora tenancies have been terminated in the past 10 months. 

Associate Housing Minister Tama Potaka says it's a result of tenants exhibiting abusive, threatening, or persistently disruptive behaviour. 

Former Monte Cecilia Housing Trust CEO Bernie Smith joins the show to discuss the crackdown.
