    The government's underwriting of Kiwibuild homes is likely to be embarassing -- but not illegal


    The Auditor General has agreed to investigate why developers were guaranteed a minimum price for already built Kiwibuild homes.

    National says hundreds of millions of dollars is being misspent.
