As of April 1st beneficiaries will be given $364 million more per annum.

"Clearly Steve Maharey has forgotten whose money it is that he is doling out with gay abandon," says Lindsay Mitchell, Libertarianz Spokesman. "We know this, because he has the temerity to turn around and tell us 'we should be thankful' for the increased dollars flowing into local economies via the beneficiaries. What a crock."

"If he really wants money in local economies he should stop taking it at source. This is like trying to convince us that we should be thankful to the car converter for returning our spare tyre whilst keeping our vehicle," she says.

"Libertarianz would cut business tax to allow employers to create jobs," says MItchell. "Labour's Minister for Employment prefers instead to crow over a few coerced crumbs being thrown back. Ask yourself which is the more moral position."

"All New Zealanders should be given the chance to earn a real crust Minister," ends Lindsay Mitchell.
