The Herald reports:

A resident at an Auckland Kainga Ora apartment block says she fears for her safety and that of other residents after she was allegedly threatened with an axe by one of her neighbours.

Police said they are investigating a complaint relating to an ongoing dispute at the residential complex.

Ada Shi, 48, has been living in her apartment since 2016 and said she called police after another resident allegedly raised an axe to threaten her and visitors to her home last weekend.

She claimed the neighbour also poured urine across her mat and front entrance of her apartment and put human faeces on the top of her rubbish bin.

Shi said she had reached out to Kainga Ora multiple times over the last six years asking to be relocated or for her neighbour to support.

“But every one of my pleas for help to Kainga Ora has fallen on deaf ears,” she said.

Again, I would abolish Kainga Ora and hand over the entire state housing stock to charities like the Sallies to run. They could only do a more humane job.
