David Farrar: Labour used to call this privatisation

RNZ reports:

Labour is promising to help public housing tenants buy their own homes, putting $100 a week towards their deposits under a new rent-to-buy scheme.

Under the election policy, working tenants in Kāinga Ora homes and participating community housing properties would be able to build up a deposit while paying rent.

They would receive a $100 weekly credit, adding up to $5200 a year, with the money held in a trust account.
