3. Question No. 3—Prime MinisterHon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime MinisterQuestion No. 3—Prime Minister3. Hon SIMON BRIDGES (Leader of the Opposition) to the Prime Minister: Does she stand by all her Government's statements policies and actions?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): Yes including our proactive work to fix the housing crisis. That includes our focus on banning foreign buyers; delivering more than 2000 public housing places; stopping the sale of State houses; implementing healthy homes so no matter where you live you have a warm dry home; banning letting fees—and I'm pleased that we've seen an increase from 18 percent to 24 percent of first-home buyers in our housing market.Hon Simon Bridges: How many KiwiBuild houses will this Government build?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: We've made a commitment that we'll keep using KiwiBuild as long as we need it to fix the housing crisis. That includes using it as leverage because we as a Government can build at scale and we can address where there have been failures. It's not always across the country but in hotspots and that's where we're focused.Hon Simon Bridges: How many KiwiBuild houses will this Government build? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: As the Minister has said as many as we can as fast as we can which is more than that member did when he was in office. Hon Grant Robertson: Does the Prime Minister stand by her statements on the Christchurch Call and how does she believe everyday New Zealanders feel about those statements? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I absolutely stand by the responsibility that we have to make sure that the harm that was done as a result of the attack in Christchurch and the promotion of that attack never happens again and I stand by that. Hon Simon Bridges: What will happen to the Government's $2 billion waiting to be spent on KiwiBuild given she does not even know how many houses will be built under the programme?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: We'll spend it on building houses. Hon Dr Megan Woods: Is the Prime Minister aware that this Government in two years has built more affordable houses through KiwiBuild than the previous Government did under the special housing areas?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Yes that's my understanding. I believe they set a target of something like 37000 houses and never achieved it. Hon Simon Bridges: How does she then define affordable"?Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Obviously we've set that with the KiwiBuild price caps. We know that one of the issues for first-home buyers is for instance the percentage—SPEAKER: Order! If the members want to ask a question they should listen to the answer not yell. Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: With the deposits in particular we've learnt through KiwiBuild that that was an area we needed to do more on. Ten percent was too much of a barrier for too many so we decreased it to five because regardless of the price cap that was a hurdle that we're addressing. Hon Simon Bridges: What Government targets remain for that $2 billion allocated to the KiwiBuild programme? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: To continue to build as many houses as are needed to fix the crisis in the housing market. The member will also know that we have a target of building 6400 public housing spaces and currently we are exceeding that target. Hon Simon Bridges: Why wasn't she involved in the KiwiBuild reset announcement? Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I'm not involved in every announcement every Minister makes."
