National Starts To Fight Dirty On Superannuation
Fund
The National Party has lost its academic argument

resorted to trying to scare retired people into believing
that their services will be cut.
Mr Peters was responding
to a press release by novice National MP Lynda Scott which
said that health, education and welfare services were about
to be cut.
“I am absolutely appalled by Ms Scott’s

debate about the fund and have instead resorted to trying to
scare the most vulnerable members of society.
“This is a
sign that the National Party have long since lost the battle
of ideas and have resorted to these dirty tactics. We in New
Zealand First will continue to talk about the rational
reasons to support the
fund.
