Inflation Hits 12 Month High Under National
The latest inflation figures show the cost of living crisis is getting worse under National.
“Christopher Luxon promised to make the cost of living better, instead, he’s making it worse,” Labour finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds said.
“He has been making excuses for 18 months now. People are sick of it.
“Food prices are surging with butter up nearly 50 percent. Rates are up over 12 percent, electricity is up over 8 percent, and everyday costs continue to rise, yet this Government keeps siding with property speculators and fossil fuel companies while families are left behind.
“Christopher Luxon is completely out of touch with the needs of middle New Zealand. It’s no wonder 47,000 people chose to leave for Australia last year.
“Labour will prioritise help with the cost of living, and proper investment in jobs, health and homes” Barbara Edmonds said.
