The Prime Minister says the Government is calling for action over the 20% of Kāinga Ora houses left vacant for a month or more. ��

The Government's issued a Letter of Expectation to Kāinga Ora outlining a series of areas where it needs improvement. ��

Luxon says there's a whole bunch of homes not ready to let because they need repairs or need to be rebuilt. ��

But, he told Hosking, he's concerned it's taking too long to get people into the about 600 homes that are currently available. ��

He says one of the things in the letter was directing Kāinga Ora to turn homes around faster and get people into them.��

The Prime Minister also says there won't be any new taxes in the Budget, and tax relief will happen.��

The Government will unveil its first Budget in May. ��

Finance Minister Nicola Willis has pushed out surplus expectations.��

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters has warned of a multi-billion-dollar gap between what was promised and what can be delivered in the budget.��

Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking that they're determined to deliver low and middle income working New Zealanders tax relief. ��
