7449 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing

7449 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing: How many Kāinga Ora tenants, if any, have been charged for the replacement of appliances or chattels in the last 24 months, if any, and in how many of those cases was the replacement initiated by Kāinga Ora without prior written consent from the tenant?

Hon Tama Potaka: Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that this information is not centrally recorded and a review of individual tenancy records would be required to respond to the question. It is not possible to provide this information without diverting a significant amount of staff resources from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time and expense of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
