Just days into the new Parliament the National-led government brought in measures which:
-
Allow employers to unfairly sack people in the first 90 days, in 97% of firms
-
Cut employer KiwiSaver contributions in half
-
Gives someone earning $500,000 annually a $9,000 a year tax cut...but puts up taxes by $300 a year for a worker on $20,000 or a two-income familty with 2 children on $50,000.
This is bad news for workers. It does not help the economy. It is a bad start for the new government.
