A suggestion from the Government that some emergency housing tenants don't need to be there.

Associate Housing Minister Tama Potaka claims there's been a 32 percent drop in households living in motels since December — roughly a thousand children.

Labour's accusing the Government of making it harder for people to access support.

But Potaka told Mike Hosking there are responsibilities that come with using taxpayer funds for housing.

“There are less people going in because we’ve made it clear and transparent around the criteria that you have to satisfy in order to get into emergency housing.”
