Tracking Labour’s progress

Readers may have noted two new counters in the sidebar. They track how many houses need to have been built and trees planted to meet Labour’s promise to build 10,000 houses a year and plant 100 million trees per year.

Every 53 minutes another house has to be built to make their Kiwibuild target and every 0.3 seconds another tree has to be planted to make their forestry target.

Once they actually start building and planting I’ll deduct those from the counters so people can see the deficit and judge whether they are making credible progress.
