Chris Bishop: National's Housing spokesman on the party's housing policy - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

National says it'll give central government "reserve powers" if councils don't deal with housing intensification the way it wants.

The party has confirmed it will allow councils to opt-out of legislation which allows for high density housing on all residential land.

Last week, leader Chris Luxon said his party was wrong to join the Government for a bi-partisan commitment to greater housing intensification.

Housing spokesman Chris Bishop says that they'll legislate to give central Government reserve powers.
