The Government has been widely panned over its major announcement yesterday on housing. There are a few positive takes on the “reset”, but generally it has been viewed as an embarrassing backdown at best, or at worst a sell-out of those needing the housing crisis addressed. One political journalist has even branded yesterday’s announcement as ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s KiwiBuild reset disaster" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/09/05/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-labours-kiwibuild-reset-disaster/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s KiwiBuild reset disaster">Read more</a>

Will KiwiBuild minister Phil Twyford lose his portfolio in tomorrow’s Cabinet reshuffle? That’s the big question, given that the Government’s flagship housing programme has been so heavily discredited, and the accompanying debate about Twyford’s role in the debacle and whether he’s to blame. It seems unlikely that Twyford will get the sack. Although Prime Minister ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Who’s accountable for the KiwiBuild debacle?" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/06/26/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-whos-accountable-for-the-kiwibuild-debacle/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Who’s accountable for the KiwiBuild debacle?">Read more</a>

That’s exactly what has happened with KiwiBuild. Labour politicians largely won office in 2017 on the basis of their scathing critique of how badly the National Government ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The KiwiBuild betrayal" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/05/15/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-the-kiwibuild-betrayal/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The KiwiBuild betrayal">Read more</a>

Political Roundup: Is KiwiBuild now KiwiBusted? by Dr Bryce Edwards Is the Labour-led Government “disconnected from reality” over its fledgling house-building programme? KiwiBuild minister, Phil Twyford, says he is “pretty gutted” by his realisation that the house building agenda will fail to get anywhere near its targets this year. It’s merely the latest in a ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Is KiwiBuild now KiwiBusted?" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/01/25/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-is-kiwibuild-now-kiwibusted/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Is KiwiBuild now KiwiBusted?">Read more</a>
