MP for Waiariki Rawiri Waititi is calling for an independent inquiry into emergency housing.
He told Checkpoint he'd be very cautious about saying everything is ka pai in regards to emergency housing in Rotorua motels.
He doesn't want to see more people referred to motels in Rotorua right now.
"It's been three years now... When is the light at the end of the tunnel? What has been done in the three years these emergency hotels have been used?
"It's ok to say yes we prefer them to be in hotels rather than cars, but even some of these hotels... the degradation, the conditions some of those whānau are living in, is absolutely appalling."
