National wants Housing Minister stood down

From Morning Report, 7:28 am on 3 May 2019

The credibility of the Housing Minister is on the line, after a week of shifting stories about a key element of KiwiBuild. Phil Twyford is under fire for a series of statements he and the Housing Ministry have made about the oversight of the Crown underwrite - hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars committed to shift the risk from property developers to the Crown. He has said there was "extensive documentation" the Ministry would provide publicly to show about the approval process, but the Ministry says that's not the case. National's housing spokesperson Judith Collins wants answers. RNZ political editor Jane Patterson talks through the details with Jane Patterson.
