Food Prices Soar Under National – Labour
Data released today by Stats NZ shows food prices have shot up five percent, as the cost of living keeps getting worse under National.
“Christopher Luxon promised to make the cost of living better, instead he’s making it worse,” Labour finance and economy spokesperson Barbara Edmonds said.
“Food prices are up five percent under National. Everyday necessities like milk and butter are up 16 and 42 percent respectively. Fruit and vegetables are up more than 7 percent, with lettuce and cabbage up 38 and 61 percent respectively. Beef is up nearly 25 percent.
“National has found a way to help property speculators and tobacco companies, but is failing to bring down costs for everyday New Zealanders.
“Luxon is so out of touch he has no idea what life is like for most New Zealanders. New Zealand cannot afford another three years of National.
“Labour’s priorities are clear: jobs, health, homes, and real action on the cost of living,” Barbara Edmonds said.
As you and I suffer from the cost of living crisis that his policies are exacerbating, Chris, fresh form holidaying in his Hawaiian batch, is spending $27000 on lunch…
Two helicopters, two prime ministers and a pavlova. Was this $27,000 lunch worth it?
…Remember when he claimed the $52000 housing allowance and the Press Gallery said he had ‘misred’ the room.
Luxon didn’t misread the room, the room misred him!
Luxon sees his privilege through his prosperity theology paradigm where he has 7 properties because Jesus loves him!
His accomodation allowance is a prosperity given to him by Jesus – that’s why he took so long to u-turn!
What’s interesting about his refusal to immediately admit mistake and change is that he did it with the EV subsidy as well. While he was damning Labour for the EV Subsidy, he was intending to use it for himself and apparently the rumour is they really had to argue internally against him taking it because it was such a bad look.
He clearly used it for his wife’s car, but his intent to get it for himself and the amount of time it took to convince him was astonishing.
This is the Government YOU voted for NZ.
This crass obscenity is all on you because you were angry at Jacinda for having the temerity to save 20 000 lives during a once in a century pandemic.
Take a long hard look at yourself fellow kiwi, you had your anger and fear manipulated by the Right.
‘I’m wealthy and I’m sorted’.
Get off your knees to the wealthy and wipe your chin Kiwi.

Have charity Luxon is just wringing out the “squeezed middle”
