For those New Zealanders at home, though, who are watching the new Leader of the Opposition and thinking, "Gosh, I've heard some of this before.", they're right, because it wasn't that long ago that we had the National Party promising to tackle the cost of living, to close the wage gap with Australia, to tackle the underclass—remember the talks about that?—and to lift productivity and be aspirational for New Zealand. Well, how did all of that turn out in the nine years that followed, when they were in Government? What did we see? Well, their biggest answer, it appears, to the rising cost of living was to increase GST and increase the cost of everything. We had a flag referendum in a housing crisis!
