    Oh dear - first response of the nutters - attack the messenger . . .

    He thinks all those house just sprang out of the ground
    Some of them appear to - but of course you knew that

    There is too much entitleus and too little getupanddoit
    Exactly - too many dwellings do not meet modern standards; at least
    one child has died as a result, and it is costing us too much in
    medical services, and poorer personal development for children brought
    up in unhealthy homes. Nobody is entitled to continue to provide
    substandard services that cost taxpayers, against reasonable
    regulation by local authorities or the New Zealand government; we need
    to have the appropriate rule for those landlards that a ripping people
    off in substandard accomodation - they should just get up and do it,
    but evidence suggeststhat they are not doing that.

    Just sign the petition george, and we will get the "getupanddoit" you
    are clling for.

    If a tenant doesn't like their house they should move out. Most mouldy houses just need to be kept clean and ventilated.

    What a load of twaddle
    A modern house might be more cosy but just because a house was built
    In the 1930s it doesn't mean it is unhealthy.
    The older house is more flexible to conditions. They naturally breathed .
    The Modern house is sealed. Cost a lot less to heat but if you don't
    Open the windows you will get mold.
    The problems labours minions who are complaining about unhealthy homes has more to do with the Building occupier than the building.

    Good points, Fred, which I would expect would be similar to the
    standards the Housing Corporation uses for dwellings that it owns, it
    makes sense that R-rating in the far north may not need to be at the
    same level as inthe far South, and I would not expect them to
    necessarily meet the same standards as for a newbuild - for example it
    is not always practical to double glaze all windows.

    According to the news this morning Liebor are presenting legislation
    that every rental house in NZ has to have a $5000 heater.
    So suddenly firms will have to produce hundreds of thousands of units to
    fill the need.
    Landlords will raise the rent and a lot of those who claim they cannot
    get by now will end up in their cars and add to the respiratory diseases
    in children...

    Chances are it will be the landlords responsibility, Fred, because no,
    many tenants would not be able to afford alternations to the property
    they are renting. Good on you for beng concerned about tenants though.
    I am sure you will have plenty of opportunity to subit to the sleect

    Leaving aside whether there will be any rise in rents (according to
    free market thinking, if a landlord asks more than prospective tenants
    can afford, then of course the property will go unlet). But of course
    we do not live in a totally free market economy - many of the rental
    properties which would need work under the legislation being
    considered don't earn enough to meet current rents - so the
    government in its wisdom recognises that by subsidising employers
    through accomodation supplements - working for lower wages gives
    better profits, and when that doesn;t work becuase workers don't have
    enough to live on, then government supplements lock in those extra
    profits - isn't that what you want from our government, george?

    But look at it from a different direction - can the country afford not
    to require homes to be dry and warm? The cost to the health system
    alone is enormous, but it also affects child development nad
    education, causing further problems for the future.

    After all, there is a history of minimum requirements for a lot of
    things - hygiene regulations for food handling, seat belts for people
    in motor vehicles - they are as much about saving health costs as
    about saving lives.

    Some were even build by labour back in 1936.

    So why should a house built by labour in the 1930.
    Accommodated dozens of families suddenly become cold and damp.
    One reason is people don't open the fucking windows and air the house

    Rich is to thick to know that.
    Oh dear - first response of the nutters - attack the messenger . . .


    Nope. Attacking a nutter with the truth Rich.

    He thinks all those house just sprang out of the ground
    Some of them appear to - but of course you knew that


    Rich you and Labour know damn well al those houses where in perfect
    condition till Labour threw the election in 2008 and National took over the government. Just like poverty and the rise of unemployment.

    There is too much entitleus and too little getupanddoit
    Exactly - too many dwellings do not meet modern standards; at least
    one child has died as a result, and it is costing us too much in
    medical services, and poorer personal development for children brought
    up in unhealthy homes. Nobody is entitled to continue to provide
    substandard services that cost taxpayers, against reasonable
    regulation by local authorities or the New Zealand government; we need
    to have the appropriate rule for those landlards that a ripping people
    off in substandard accomodation - they should just get up and do it,
    but evidence suggeststhat they are not doing that.


    To many dwellings were ignored while Labour was government Rich. The marxist muppets were to busy milking the NZ taxpayers with rising costs to spend
    money on something as prosaiac as state housing.

    Just sign the petition george, and we will get the "getupanddoit" you
    are clling for.


    Your preamble suggests the petition is just another useless and failed
    attempt to score political points Rich.

    You moronic marxist muppet! Tell us when any increases in costs to landlords havn't led to higher rents. Hell it even happened when your glorious Liebor party were government Rich. Another inconvenient fact you've had deleted

    OMG Rich wants even more regulations to make conducting business even

    The only people that should be responsible for heating a house are those
    that live in it.
    Which is drifting a bit - all dwellings should be able to be heated
    p[erhaps comes first.
    (and technically of course some homes are contractually heated - eg
    corridors in some apartment buildings)

    Still no-one has identified any part of the bill promoted by Labour
    that they actually object to . . . - and if there is anything, the
    bill will almost certainly go to a select committee.

    A $5000 heater? That's nuts. Talk about making rentals even more
    unaffordable.

    It certainly seems more like Nat-spin - I note george carefully did
    not give a cite for his assertion

    The only people that should be responsible for heating a house are those
    that live in it.

    That's a concept that exceeds Riches feeble gasp of reality

    These 'cold' houses have been around for a long time and many families
    have lived in and grown up in them.
    But then housekeeping included cleaning and child care came with
    jersies, jackets and common sense.
    Some people have always lived in unfit accommodation and, I might add,

    Strange isn't it? Despite the advances in medicine, the insulation initiatives,
    and the alleged warming of the planet, these old houses are a problem with coldness all of a sudden?

    Or is it just a beat-up from an oppsoition utterly befeft of ideas?

    And there is still no cite supporting the wild assertions about the
    bill before parliament.

    Personal abuse does not excuse your lack of content to the discussion,
    george.

    Many of the houses that have featured in news articles have had water
    running down walls and mould causing rooms to be vacated as they are
    dangerous - in previous eras I suspect many would have been judged
    unfit for habitation and the owner required to fix them before they
    are allowed to be lived in. I don't know why that protection is not
    used more. ,

    Obviously the news on Stuff hasn't been following the party line so you're

    Many if not all were like this during the last Labour government. Though if
    you can believe (chortle!) Rich they all suddenly sprung into full water flowing and frigidity Novemebr 2008 when Hellen ceded the election to
    National. Funny how Rich thinks that yet keeps giving cites that prove he's
    a silly twit.
