Your local MP has received one of our letters. We were not surprised to see him voting for lowering the drinking age. Max is for liberalising everything. Our belief is that young people are better off in jobs than pubs. If these youngsters had jobs and more training and educational chances they would not be getting into trouble.
Unemployment is the curse of many regional communities.
New Zealand First is going to give tax breaks and other incentives to get people into employment and we will be targeting young people. We cannot have another dependent generation lining up in dole queues. Our other plans will unfold well before the election campaign. We will also change the Reserve Bank Act to include export growth, economic growth and employment in its policy settings. Bold courageous action is needed to change the course of the country after fifteen years of blind ideology and navel gazing.
