Life is getting tougher for New Zealanders under National as the cost of basics like milk, eggs, and cheese keeps climbing.
Christopher Luxon promised to ease the cost of living, instead he’s making it worse.
Everyday essentials are shooting up in price. Milk is up 13.5 percent in the past year, eggs are up 18.5 percent, and cheese has skyrocketed by 30 percent. Families simply can’t keep up.
National’s failure to act shows how out of touch Christopher Luxon is.
And it’s not just food. Electricity and gas costs are rising too, putting real pressure on households and businesses alike.
Record numbers of New Zealanders are packing up and leaving, and the spiralling cost of living is a big reason why. It’s a clear vote of no confidence in Christopher Luxon’s government.
New Zealand cannot afford another three years of National. Labour will take real action to bring down the cost of living.
Record numbers continue to leave under Luxon
Kiwis are giving up and heading overseas in record numbers as Christopher Luxon fails to deliver on his economic promises.
Christopher Luxon promised to fix the economy, but he’s made it worse.
In the year to September, 72,700 New Zealanders left the country – that’s about 200 people a day voting with their feet. These are doctors, nurses, teachers, police, and tradies that we desperately need here. With job cuts looming in the fire service, firefighters could be next to go.
People are paying more and earning less. Christopher Luxon says Kiwis should just go to where the jobs are. They are, but sadly those jobs are not here in New Zealand.
National has no plan to create jobs and has failed to fix the economy like they promised.
Labour will build a productive economy where hard work pays, healthcare is affordable, and our kids can see a future here at home.
