Ihumātao deal under scrutiny as Housing Minister Megan Woods accused of using KiwiBuild as slush fund

Willis asked Dr Woods in Parliament on Wednesday how she could justify using funds to purchase the land at Ihumātao that were explicitly earmarked in Budget 2020 for KiwiBuild homes . Budget 2020 states that the Land for Housing Programme is intended to facilitate the development of KiwiBuild affordable homes .  Dr Woods said Willis was confused and hadn t looked at the broader purpose of the Land for Housing Programme, which was to acquire land suitable for residential development that it can on-sell to developers .  In the case of the Ihumātao deal, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by the Kīngitanga, the Crown and Auckland Council which sets out how the parties will work together to decide the future of the land.
