The Government's defending a review of Kāinga Ora, saying it's the right course of action for the country's struggling social housing provider.

The review will be led by former National Prime Minister Sir Bill English.

Housing Minister Chris Bishop told Tim Dower that an independent look at books of the country's largest landlord will be good news for everyone.

He says it's about making sure it's operating efficiently and effectively and will be good for both taxpayers and tenants.
