The Government is both refusing to take on the vested interests whose greed is driving the crisis we face and is refusing to lift the ambition for Aotearoa and invest to deal with the entrenched disparities and systemic barriers that are holding up our people and holding our people back, because—let's be very clear—it's our people who pay the price: those who are working two or three jobs and still struggling to put food on the table, those who are trying to raise babies while paying a quarter of the income in debt to Work and Income, and those unable to put a warm, dry roof over their kids' heads. Tangata whenua pay the price; tangata whenua suffer the consequences.
