MDRS: The Conservative Party That Stops Things From Change

National leader Christopher Lucksen announced he would allow councils to opt out of medium density residential standards. Chris Bishop, his housing spokesman, and Nicola Willis, his deputy leader, have been fighting for MDRS over the last two years. National's approach is to bring in private capital to fund the infrastructure. And my current view is that this watered down version of MDRS will be just as ineffective as the previous policies delivered.
