New Zealand First party leader made a policy announcement today on pay rises for MPs, at a public meeting in Glenfield today.
Peters tweeted the policy this afternoon.
- The pay freeze for parliamentarians is due to end this year, with a hefty pay rise forecasted.
- The fact is when this announcement was made that Members of Parliament would receive a pay rise, in the middle of an election where the cost-of-living crisis is the biggest issue according to politicians, not one of them made mention of the hypocrisy and contradiction of them all receiving a pay rise but not our essential workers.
- We have a swath of essential workers including police, doctors, nurses, paramedics, midwives, corrections officers, and teachers, who are all under sustained pressure just to keep up with affording basics, and who are being forced to look for better pay and conditions overseas.
- One of the reasons we have a ‘squeezed middle’ is out of touch politicians and bureaucrats sitting in Wellington talking platitudes from their ivory towers.
- Kiwis already think the representatives sitting in the Beehive are out of touch – and this announcement, unchallenged by any of them, proves it.
- New Zealand First policy is: Members of Parliament should receive their pay rise only after our essential frontline workers have been adequately compensated with their own pay rises first.
New Zealand First Policy Announcement: No MP pay rises until essential workers get one first.

Stuff the pay rises put a price freeze on supermarkets and ieave it on for 2 or 3 years they are making millions the thieves.
Do these scammers think voters are stupid? YES they do!
And sadly according to some polls they are. But who would want to fall for that $#!* and vote any of the current traitors back into parliament?
Many Kiwis wake up:: Hippi offers free dental care, Luxon has a multi-point bribing list, Winni pleads for no pay rises for MPs, and smarmy seynomore offers cheap energy.
How more obvious could vote bribes be?
Government sold your children for the debt they bought your votes with.
GOVERNMENT SELLS YOUR CHILDREN FOR THE DEBT THEY BUY YOUR VOTES WITH!!!

Fine words NZF but I’m not buying it, especially from you….
