The United Nations has also confirmed that progressive realisation of the right to a decent home, or the lack of it, can and should be tracked by using suitable indicators and benchmarks.10 The indicators require disaggregation on prohibited grounds of discrimination, such as ethnicity, disability, gender and age. 75. By way of Tiriti partnership and a consultative process, attention should be given to identifying suitable national indicators for the right to a decent home in Aotearoa.

Even highincome countries, such as Aotearoa, cannot avoid difficult decisions about resource allocation. Priorities have to be set and trade-offs have to be made. 80. Prioritisation and trade-offs are common features of every approach to policy making. The human rights approach is distinctive because of the conditions it imposes on the policy making process, such as: 11 24
