Government announces end to state home selloffROSS GIBLIN/STUFF Housing Minister Phil Twyford has put a stop to state house sales, halting a 2500-house transfer in Christchurch. The new Government has put a full stop on state house sales today, halting a 2500-house transfer in Christchurch. ​Families in 2500 state homes in Christchurch would no longer be switching landlords next year. The former Government had been in Australia trying to pitch the sale of the state houses." If instead they had built 2000 state houses a year we would have 18,000 extra state houses and simply wouldn't have the homelessness problem that we do right now.
