Various political forces have been up in arms at the recent
fall of the dollar, political parties like ACT and National
are quick to alert us to how the downfall of the dollar
represents a stagnant export economy that will see us dead
in a matter of months.
It has been proven that New Zealand
as a nation is importing more than it is exporting.
The
key to strengthening the dollar is not to get the government
to buy lots of NZ currency as the Australians are doing but
to implement long term solutions that will see a boost in
the New Zealand export industries.
For those that export
the New Zealand Liberation Party will work closely with them
to lighten the load on exporters, we will organise forums
for the exporter to talk to us closely.
Because of this
forum we will be able to be flexible in our approach to help
exporters, we also reaffirm our support for free trade that
will see New Zealanders equal with other nations in the
global marketplace.
