How is Kiwibuild going?

Labour’s promise of 100,000 affordable Kiwibuild houses was their most iconic 2017 policy. How are they doing, nearly halfway through their second term.

They promised that by now they would have built 24,000 houses. They have in fact delivered 1,304 which is 5.4% of what they promised – so they have underdelivered by 94.6%.

Overall they are only 1.3% of the way to the 100,000 they promised.

They told voters that their ability was so awesome that by now they would be building 1,000 Kiwibuild houses each and every month. In the last three months they have built 8 Kiwibuild houses vs the 3,000 they promised.
