OPINION: When Covid-19 forced New Zealand to shut its borders, it left refugees we had committed to resettle in precarious circumstances with shattered hopes.

No no no... Sorry but we have a housing crisis at the moment. What is the point in bringing in more refuges from around the world if we can't house them properly. We already can't house kiwi's that live here.
Sort the housing crisis out first and then look at the numbers. Look after the people that are already here before expanding on those numbers.

So now it will only be investors that buy houses, increasing the price of the housing market and not those that are needing the house in the first place... right!
