Chris Bishop: National housing spokesperson calls New Zealand's emergency housing "a disaster"

National is labelling emergency housing as a social and economic disaster.

Since Labour came to office in 2017, $1.4 billion has been spent on putting people up temporarily in motels.

National's Housing spokesman Chris Bishop told Kerre Woodham it's an extraordinary sum of money - an average of nearly a million dollars a day being paid to motel owners.
