Damien Grant: What to do with a problem like Kāinga Ora

I do like a good governmental annual report. They are interchangeable for the most part; shining faces smiling at other shining faces, all with wonderful teeth and enjoying a wonderful life thanks to the honest hard work of the Ministry for Administrative Development.

Mostly the faces are brown. It isn’t clear why but I suspect that many Wellington civil servants believe brown people would be living in cardboard huts and eating boiled cabbage without government assistance.
