Good afternoon. I'm Malcolm Jordan and this is your midday
news fix for Friday, the twenty first of November. The
Housing Minister is calling for a fix at State Housing
Agency order and a level playing field for community housing providers.
Chris Bishop has launched a social Housing Investment Plan, which
includes proceeds from the sales of unsuitable homes being invested
(00:26):
back into social housing. Bishop wants to also put in
more competition between the State Housing Agency and community housing providers,
saying it incentivizes everyone to deliver cost effective projects. The
government's also targeting funding to high need locations the far North,
South Auckland, Eastern Bay of Plenty, Gisbon and Hastings, New Zealand.
(00:50):
First Leader Winston Peters is strongly rejecting any claim he'll
campaign alongside Labour's Chris Hipkins. Peters says next year he'll
campaign on getting rid of act's Regulatory Standards Bill, despite
supporting it just last week. ACT leader David Seymour says
it sounds like Peters is getting ready to work with
Labor again. Peter's told Mike Hosking he has no idea
(01:12):
why Seymour would say that.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Having been betrayed in stad in the back and lied
to not have been misleader. I would never trust Sipkins.
That's the end of it. I've met a very but
I'm not going to go on my whole career, every
meeting getting up with a question, who are you going
to go?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Meanwhile, a political commentator is again asking questions about Chris
Luckson's leadership. Matthew Houghton, who admittedly says he never rated
the current National leader, suggests a reshuffle is needed at
the highest levels of the party. He says the status
quo is not good for the government. He just cannot
get the confidence of the public and the business community
(01:46):
and that's harming the economy as much as the government.
But senior National MPs say they're backing their current leader.
Paul Goldsmith says no one in caucus has spoken about
potential replacements for Luxen. A heartbroken mother has spoken about
her three children who perished in the Sanson fire. Chelsea
Field says they were kind, loving and full of happiness.
(02:08):
One or two police have launched a homicide inquiry after
a post mortem on the children's father, who also died
but wasn't burned in the fire to be s Macintosh reports.
Speaker 3 (02:18):

and she'd been planning a trip to take them to
see the Phoenix. Five year old Hugo is remembered as
a confidence loving Mamma's boy who had just enjoyed his
first pet day at school in one year Old Goldie
was the special little girl she'd waited so long for.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Low expectations of quick action from the Crown after police
declare they have enough evidence to lay manslaughter charges over
the Pike River mine disaster. It's been fifteen years since
the deaths of twenty nine men in the West Coast mine.
Nigel Hampton k C, who represents widow Anna Osborne and
mother Sonya Rockhouse, says police concluded their investigation and handed
(02:58):
the file two Crown solicitors a year ago. They've played
ping pong back and clarifying certain things. The Crown still
hasn't made a decision. That's a sort of further grievance
to the families of frustration, anxiety to Sport, Nottingham Forrest
to football manager Sean Dish is downplaying the seriousness of
striker Chris Woods injury diagnosing the ailment as grumbling kneel.
(03:21):
