Data on New Zealand MPs’ financial interests reveals a large number of MPs own at least four properties.
A Bill that increases security and stability for tenants passed its final reading in Parliament this week. National and ACT voted against the legislation.
Since 2005, members of Parliament have been required to declare annual returns of their financial returns and other specified interests in a list which contains details about property, overseas costs and other interests.
The latest information from April, showing data as at January 31, shows Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern owns her family home in the Mt Albert, Auckland electorate.
National leader Judith Collins owns a family home in Auckland, a commercial and residential property in Wellington and a residential property in Nelson.
Currently, eight MPs do not own any property.
