Chris Bishop: Housing Minister on the Government reducing Auckland housing capacity plan again

The Housing Minister says Cabinet's agreement to reduce Auckland's minimum housing capacity for a second time puts the issue to bed.   

The Government announced a revised density plan of 1.6 million homes just last month, and today reduced that to 1.4 million. 

Wayne Brown says he suspects as it's an election year, this is simply politics at play.

Chris Bishop says this is about agreement between Government, Aucklanders and Council. 

"We achieved consensus as a Cabinet and as a Government, which is what we are always aiming to do."
