Her press release titled โManufacturing increase welcomedโ landed as the people of Tokoroa are only just coming to terms with the closure of the Kinleith paper mill.
โTalk about tone deaf. People are hurting, whฤnau donโt know what to do, and instead of showing any kind of humility, Nicola Willis is sitting in her Beehive office patting herself on the back,โ Labour Employment Spokesperson Willie Jackson said.
โAs she is crowing about the sector doing well, 230 people no longer have a job or an income.
โMany of them would have thought the Government would act. Especially after the Deputy Prime Minister promised heโd do something about it. Instead, theyโve let the paper mill close with no plan to help the workers and Nicola Willis thought it was her time to shine.
โShame on her, and shame on this Government for doing nothing,โ Willie Jackson said.
