The opposition is criticising Kainga Ora's turnaround plan. 

The Government's told the landlord to focus on its core service: social housing. 

It's announced savings including ending sustainable housing certification requirements and shedding a quarter of its staff. 

Labour housing spokesperson Kieran McAnulty told Andrew Dickens he's perplexed that the Housing Minister calls this a success. 

He says the need for social housing continues to grow and the governments answer is to not build houses.
