An independent Māori Housing body says there is a need for more investment into papakainga and Māori-led housing developments. In the housing plan announced today - the only mention of Māori is that a specifically targeted package is being developed for Budget 2021.

Mr Knox speaks to Māni Dunlop about today's proposal.
