Kelly talks to Susie about the severity of the housing crisis in Rotorua and the efforts to improve the situation including Kainga Ora's building programme.

Also the cost to ratepayers of dumped supermarket trolleys, and a new homegrown musical based on a Māori family growing up in Scott Ave Rotorua in the 1970's.

Kelly Makiha is a senior journalist with the Rotorua Daily Post.
