Whenever someone says #Luxon would make a good #PrimeMinister because he used to be a #CEO I'm reminded of a friend of my grandmother who said I should be a pilot because of my "lovely voice."

Why are we still OK with this behavior from our politicians?

• #NZNationalParty/#ActParty plan to drive down #wages

Breaking their promises, #NZNationalParty delivered:
• #FailedBusinesses
• More #NZUnemployment
• #LowerPay for workers
Hiding behind #COVID/#SupplyChain/#inflation shocks, this war on #NewZealand #workers continues now:
• National plan to cut #taxes for the rich again
#failedbusinesses #nzunemployment #lowerpay #covid #newzealand #workers #nznationalparty #taxes
• This "#FiscalResponsibility" actually damaged the #NZEconomy
• Lower benefits = less spent at small businesses = businesses closed down = even higher #NZUnemployment
• People with jobs had those jobs taken away from them because #NZNationalParty & Treasury wanted #TaxCuts

In 1990, #NZNationalParty were elected:
• Businesses wrote laws to steal #BargainingPower from workers
• Workers were forced to fight for jobs by destroying #Workers #Unions
• National promised "real growth, more jobs, and higher pay"

The cause of #Aotearoa's #CostOfLivingCrisis is unprecedented, however we've been through financial crises before.
The #Libertarianism of the '80s was supercharged by #JimBolger's National government in 1990. Their brand of "fiscal responsibility" echoes that of #NZNationalParty/#ActParty today.

#nznationalparty doesn't think that #nzlabour should have supported businesses during covid said Willis
Is this why #luxon said businesses have gone soft
Yet without wage and business support many would have failed and we'd really have a crisis of unemployment
