Compensation over flawed meth testing not enough - Action Against Poverty

Auckland Action Against Poverty says Housing New Zealand should prioritise finding homes for the tenants it kicked out and made homeless because of the bogus meth testing fiasco. Yesterday the Minister of Housing, Phil Twyford, said the department has started paying compensation to state house tenants who were evicted because of dodgy methamphetamine tests. The government estimates about 2400 people from 800 tenancies were wrongly kicked out of their state houses. So far they have settled with 55 people, while another 92 people have had claims approved and were waiting on an offer to be finalised.
