About time someone looked out for tenants instead of landlords for once.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-30T06:13:39.000Z

Exactly! They can't blame National for everything forever.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-30T05:41:39.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed Labour, you're the ones who hiked them in the first place.

Finn Walker2026-06-30T06:17:39.000Z

harder. At least they're listening now.

It's night time and I'm still fuming about housing. Can we please just have affordable rent? 🙄

Bloody politicians flip-flopping again. Rent or no rent, we need actual houses built.

gonna politician. Vote for anyone who actually builds.

Wait, so they're just reversing their own policy? And we're supposed to clap? 😂

Sage Lawson2026-06-30T06:23:39.000Z

Common sense. People can't survive on $50 a week after rent. Good on them.

Sage Lawson2026-06-30T06:29:39.000Z

facts mate. We need action not announcements.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-30T06:39:39.000Z
