It is one of Labour's key election policy platforms and the party should be promoting it far and wide. Labour found out in the past there was a difference between promising something and the voters believing you can deliver. Last time, KiwiBuild foundered partly because few people believed Labour could actually deliver homes in Auckland for the $300,000 initially promised. Still, this time round Key can hardly dispute whether Labour can provide homes at the price promised. By the time Labour increased the house prices in 2014, Prime Minister John Key had already laughed it into oblivion.
