Claims the emergency housing situation in Rotorua is "out of control".

Newstalk ZB can reveal the Government has so far spent one billion dollars on emergency housing since coming to power five years ago.

Restore Rotorua Chairman Trevor Newbrook told Kate Hawkesby there are 40 motels in Rotorua full of people in emergency housing.

He says the situation is at "breaking point" with one third of people in Rotorua emergency housing, coming from other parts of New Zealand.
