The waitlist for public housing has hit a record high - reaching nearly 14,500 households.

The recently-released figure - recorded at the end of November - has almost tripled from the roughly 6,000 individuals or families on the list when the Government was elected in 2017.

The Opposition is blaming Labour's housing policies. National's spokesperson for social housing Simon O'Connor spoke to Logan Church.
