It sounds like other KO tenants suffer the worst, to be honest.

Utterly shameful the previous government let it get this far.

A follow up story, even Hipkins himself admits Labour handled this poorly.

how do you think these people will feel when they are kicked out of their house because a neighbour made a noise complaint or they didn't mow their lawn for a while?

I think something like that would be an edge case. We aren't talking about Karen-land, people are worried about drugs, violence, and abuse.

Why do you think that would be an edge case? The goal here is to kick people out of public housing. Any old excuse will do.
