This from the MP for Rotorua -- who's accusing the Government of trashing the region.
It follows news Kainga Ora spent more than eight million dollars to buy a Rotorua motel to temporarily house 80 people.

He says now, there are as many as 60 motels with homeless people in them - and more than two-thousand homeless people in Rotorua.
