The employment of New Zealanders is our first planning priority. High unemployment is not acceptable. We regard such human and economic waste as a blight on this country's productivity. Education Money spent on Education will be treated as an investment, not as expenditure. Educational advancement is both in the national and in the individual interest.
Educational investment is critical for economic and social recovery.
Health Health will cease to be a balance sheet item. Health will be a critical investment in New Zealand's human resource. Our policies will rebuild New Zealand's public health service. Taxation Our long-term objective is New Zealanders paying less tax. We intend to simplify and enforce the tax laws so that they apply equally to all taxpayers.
