Chris Bishop: National housing spokesperson on the party's plan to end emergency housing motels in Rotorua

National's Chris Bishop vows the use of emergency social housing motels in Rotorua will come to an end. The party will do so through building more social housing and implementing tighter eligibility criteria so people have to use grants in areas they are already living. Chris Bishop says emergency housing in Rotorua has become a 'massive' permanent institution, with the Government pumping millions into a short-term solution. "The Government has basically washed their hands of it and said- it's all too difficult, we're not going to try and make a difference here. What we're going to do is say- if you've been in a motel for 12 weeks or longer, you have an absolute priority to get out of that motel and get into a social house."
