I had low expectations, but damn. Lowering the Govt's KiwiSaver contribution, pay equity changes, income testing for Best Start child payments and 18-19 year olds on the benefit tested against their parent's income, tax breaks for businesses, increased rebate threshold for SuperGold?

Will we ever get a Government brave enough to means test Superannuation. Boomers and businesses profit again and the younger generations have to pay for it with their futures.

The point is to hurt ordinary people as much as possible so that rich people can get tax cuts and billions can be handed over the American defence contractors.

I don't know why you guys don't realise this by now. Cruelty is the point and the purpose of this government. They aren't happy unless those most in need are in pain.

Maybe if you get sick or injured and are waiting 12 hours to see a doctor in the emergency room then you'll finally get a clue.
