Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: A new episode of Juggernaut! Plus: the case for sitting bolt upright while driving, and a beloved children’s book goes ballet.
“Housing minister Chris Bishop has been like a cat with granny’s netted curtains recently. He keeps unveiling plan after plan to alleviate the housing crisis. Things he’s shredded with his clawed paws of late include resource consents for granny flats, first home grants, minimum floor areas and balcony requirements. He’s taken steps to encourage cities to expand up and out by clawing at ‘unnecessary planning barriers’. There’s just one direction he’s forgotten about – downwards.”
