    "The external review of the Social Housing Reform Programme noted
    that, in Auckland, three ministers and four government agencies lacked
    an overall plan to boost housing supply.

    It found the government needed to "increase the overall supply of
    housing, particularly in Auckland".

    The 135-page review, done for Treasury, was finished in December 2015.

    Last September, then-Minister of Social Housing Paula Bennett refused
    to release the report to RNZ.

    She said to do so would "prejudice the quality of information
    received" and "the wider public interest of effective government would
    not be served".

    RNZ obtained the report only after an appeal to the Ombudsman under
    the Official Information Act. "

    Bennett must have been pleased with her 'alternative facts' - shame
    for her it was against the law for her to keep it hidden!
