Why does Andrew Bayley think that working hard for a living makes someone a “loser”? It’s an appalling attitude for a government minister, but sadly symptomatic of the arrogance and superiority complex of the Luxon-led govt. Luxon won’t take action because he thinks the same.

If Christopher Luxon had any standards for his ministers Andrew Bayley would have been sacked for his contempt towards working people. But we already know he has no standards given his lack of action on Costello, McKee, Jones, Peters, Seymour…

#Budget2024: Treasury is predicting unemployment to increase to 5.2%. That's 27,000 people out of work. Instead of supporting people, the government is cutting more jobs and sanctioning those on the benefit.

I spoke with Jimmy today, a builder’s apprentice hoping to complete his apprenticeship. Cuts to the Apprenticeship Boost will make it harder for people like him to upskill and provide for their whanau. #Budget2024

Contraception is not a 'nice to have'. Cost should not be a barrier. National is out of touch with reality for many women.
