Meth evictions: 'Those without shelter prioritised' - Ardern

Housing New Zealand's chief executive has apologised for the state agency using flawed methamphetamine contamination measures to evict tenants and suggested it may pay compensation. The country's top scientists last month found no real health risk to humans from living in a house where meth had previously only been smoked. In his first interview on the scandal, chief executive Andrew McKenzie told Morning Report that 300 people were evicted because of meth contamination in their homes. He said Housing New Zealand is reporting back to the minister on what can be done to pay back what it charged them. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern tells Susie Ferguson those without shelter will be prioritised.
