The only logical assumption an new arrival in NZ would make about this is that the NZ Govt has lost the plot. Additionally you would have to assume the spin monkeys are hard at work with statements like:
Statistics New Zealand reported in June that the average annual gross income for a household was $65,520 a year.
After-tax incomes of $70,000 and $80,000 among those living in state houses were "not uncommon," Mr Heatley said.
So we report incomes as gross amounts and state house tenants income as net amounts.
The real picture is:
"Statistics New Zealand reported in June that the average annual net income for a household was $48,697 a year.
After-tax incomes of $70,000 and $80,000 among those living in state houses were "not uncommon," Mr Heatley said."
Makes cost savings associated with chopping 20 MPs out of the mix look like a waste of time when there is fish this big just sitting around waiting to be fried.
I would write a policy for this along the lines of 'Once a person's income is equal or greater than (2 x the qualifying income level) they are deemed to be no longer eligible for state housing assistance'.
At this time they should be made to choose to pay market rental for where they live or get out withing 90 days.

Only new arrivals can feel that?
No, but most people in this country have come to accept some pretty absurd things as 'just the way they are'. It's conditioning to the way things have been for years. The new arrival point is a 'take a fresh look' token.
