Press Release: New Zealand National Party

John Key MP
National Party Finance Spokesman

07 July 2005

National Party Finance spokesman John Key says Michael Cullen’s claim that National’s tax deduction for childcare will create more bureaucracy is “utter nonsense”.

“There will be no extra bureaucracy. The childcare deduction will be based on the existing housekeeper rebate rate. Families have to apply for that.

“Labour’s answer is to build an even bigger bureaucracy in the form of monopolistic state-run childcare centres, that deny parents choice,” says Mr Key.

Gordon Campbell: On The Political Panic Over Immigration

In the wake of WW2, immigration policy was driven by a mixture of compassion for the refugees of war, and by a less admirable desire to replenish our ranks (preferably) with the racial stock of the old Empire. Ever since the neo-liberal reforms of the 1980s though, immigration has been treated as a market transaction in human capital. Its worth has been and judged almost entirely on the basis of the economic benefits that immigration offers to New Zealand.
