An Auckland motel manager says she was assaulted by an outgoing emergency housing tenant for asking her to clean her room, Newshub reports. But the incident was just the tip of the iceberg. Sue Gill-Devereux, who runs a motel in East Tamaki, is speaking out about the distressing lifestyle of managing emergency accommodation. “I’m basically running a facility for mental health and criminals and drug addicts, and there’s [no support]… They smash windows, they kick in walls.” Sue is calling for the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) to provide more oversight and pay for security.
