Arena Williams to the Minister of Housing: Further to his reply to Question 38059 (2025), how much of the $435 million taken from the Kāinga Ora budget in Budget 2024 was allocated to ensuring that Kāinga Ora could continue its statutory obligations outside of public housing and how does that break down by each statutory obligation funded?
