Good work Kainga Ora

NewstalkZb reports:

A Kāinga Ora resident managed to terrorise his community in just three weeks before being evicted and ending up behind bars for shooting four cats and threatening a neighbour at gunpoint.

Roger Allen Woodgate was originally a tenant at a property on Moodys Ave in Whangārei but moved into a Kāinga Ora house on Tiaki Rise, Tikipunga in October 2024.

Between mid-November and early December several incidents were reported to police and case managers of Kāinga Ora filed an application to terminate his tenancy based on the risk to the public.

This is what we want to see – action in weeks, not months or years.

Woodgate was not present at the hearing as he was incarcerated.

Based on his reported behaviour, that may be the only suitable home for him.
