Inquiry into community assets—evidence session 4: Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for Finance and Local Government
Okay, thank you very much. Just in terms of the housing element, I think you're on record, Minister—Julie James—as saying that house building very often tends to be quite formulaic, with the bigger developers building as has traditionally suited them, really…
