18 mars 1971 - Report of the Commission of Inquiry: Housing in New Zealand

Description:

Posing more of a threat to the policy, however, was the dual operation of Department of Maori Affairs policy and State Advances Corporation
policies. While the Department of Maori Affairs through its lending policies sought to
distribute Maori throughout the cities and towns, the State Advances Corporation in its
provision of State housing allocated houses on the basis of need and not 'race'. It was this
clash of policies that the 1971 report on housing in New Zealand held culpable for the 'ethnic
concentrations' that had occurred in Otara, Mangere, and Porirua. This report implored that
every effort to be taken to avoid such concentrations in the future. Rather poetically the commission of inquiry concluded the "Shaken by separate hands, the pepper-pott has given a result more characteristic of the salt-cellar"
