Housing Minister Chris Bishop is standing up for the Government's new housing policy changes, amid concerns it'll create more problems.
Bishop plans to fill urban areas with development land and remove council powers to mandate boundaries and standards.
He acknowledges shoebox apartments aren't ideal for everybody, but more housing is better for Kiwis.
"It's about housing choice. We need smaller apartments, we need bigger apartments, we need suburban houses, we need duplexes, we need terraced houses, we need townhouses, we need big mansions - we need everything."
