National and ACT deliver worst Mothers Day ever by smashing women workers

This has to be the worst Mothers Day from the Right ever!

By unilaterally shutting down all pay equity deals, ramming it through under urgency all before the Budget is driven by the extreme nature of Nicola Willis’s austerity budgets.

Women workers are effectively being paid less to fund tobacco subsidies, more military and landlord tax cuts.

As TDB has warned you repeatedly, Nicola’s budget cuts are extreme and Van Velden has been lining the Union movement up for a beating since she became the Minister.

This attack on all women workers just highlights how desperate this Government have become.

We either fight back or allow this Government to continue implementing an extreme right wing agenda.

    • National is getting flak for bringing the equal pay test back to what was originally agreed. Personally I think they should have allowed current claims to proceed as so much effort has gone into them.
      The same can be said about the cuts in the public service due to Labour’s over the top hirering .

      • Nonsense Trevor.
        Look at at the multiple discipline clinicians all saying the same thing in health. Cuts to save a budget is terrible governance.
        Meanwhile Luxon is happy to take ” $49,000 salary increase by June of next year. That is wasteful spending.

  1. The trouble for us cis white males is caused by the fact that we taught the cows to read. Mine is sitting in bed working on her laptop for gods sake. She should be making me breakfast.

  2. I believe in the lead up to Election 2023 the Prime Weakling/Coward of New Zilland(as John Key called this country)with the name of Luxon ‘promised’ a Transparent Government if National became government.
    And so yet again National with its Cronies in Arms of ACT and NZ First have broken another pre-election promise.
    I think we can figure out that NO-ONE can Trust any MPs in this current government.
    The sooner Women and especially low paid women get out at vote at the next election then I hope they vote out ALL the MPs in this CoC.

  3. Just remember who is paying for all the shit in the next budget ,who is paying big tobacco,landlords, new helicopters, it ain’t the rich,it ain’t Willis and co ,it is the women of Aotearoa who will have taken a step backwards in their earning power who will be poor for most of their working life while the 30 year old van Velden Willis grigg and co will never be poor or have to worry where the next meal is coming from. This will be Luxon’s legacy the coward that broke New Zealand women and there will be absolutely no coming back from this so Luxon and co please just go New Zealanders have had enough of your opaque lying ways .
