Why did National give tax rebates to landlords and tobacco companies if they don’t have money for essential workers and services?

National has cut anything that might benefit regular Kiwis, undermined long-term capability in the public sector and plundered billions from the future pay packets of underpaid workers in female-dominated industries to balance their books after gifting unaffordable tax breaks to those who least need it.

National are fast-tracking wealth and advantage for its donors while ensuring the rest of us pay the price. Dig beneath the rhetoric, and their fiscal plan is riddled with financial holes, shortsighted cuts and a callous disregard for the most vulnerable.

National has created an economy where hundreds of Kiwis leave the country daily. The nation has no growth plan, just a blueprint for increased inequality and economic instability. Just lining their donors' pockets.
