Neoliberal economics , introduced by Labour in 1984 (and still practiced by them ) put on steroids by National and supported today by Greens and NZ First (by virtue of choosing to be in cabinet ) has done enormous harm to the lives of ordinary families in our country and as we head towards the election I’ll be reminding you of the specifics of the damage it has done to the lives of most New Zealanders since its inception and what we must do to change the economic and moral direction of the next government by using your vote to get the best tactical outcome.
