Take Kiwibuild. Yes, it hasnt worked, as the housing crisis went too far to allow affordable homes for the masses. What failed was the basis. Labour didn't cause that. Did national "cause" that? Not directly, but they ignored the facets that allowed foreign rich people to set prices.
But like everything, National showed economic stewardship. Thats is a joke of the largest proportions. They showed ignorance and tight purse strings, let the market sort it out, but no issue with tax cuts galore in election year. That is a massive insult. Economic negligence.
They did however campagin on land/planning reform to reduce land prices. They haven't done that. National hasn't 'caused' Labour's inaction once they got into Government.
So did National, they didn't do that in 9 years. Labour hasn't done it, yet, its in progress, as is Nationals version. How long foes it tale to reform the RMA? One week or two?
The point is, its apparently herecy to mention the last Govt. The fact is, any new Govt inherits the good and the bad from the previous. Angry deniers will mention the former but avoid the latter
