Kieran McAnulty
About This Episode
In this Yarns with Andy episode, part of our Build Vote series for the 7 November election, Andy Alagappan sits down with Kieran McAnulty, Labour MP for the Wairarapa and spokesperson for Housing and Infrastructure. It is a straight, on-record yarn about why projects keep getting cancelled, why homelessness is rising, and what it would take to break construction's stop-start cycle.
McAnulty argues the industry's real need is certainty: a pipeline that is actually funded, every Crown project put through the Infrastructure Commission's independent test, and homelessness measured properly so it can be fixed. He also covers the Future Fund, housing, water storage, consenting delays, and the one question he says every voter should ask their candidate. Yarns with Andy is non-partisan and does not advocate for any party.
