Cast your minds back and think. What would it have been like if the National Party had been in power and they had done what they wanted to do? We would be in a woeful, woeful position. But what really amazes me is that they seem to have forgotten history. Let's have a bit of a history lesson. In 2015 the minimum wage was $15.75. That person would be on $630 a week. What would the cost of living problem be like? No—we're committed to raising the incomes of those who earn the least. That's why the minimum wage today is $21.20 hour or $848 a week. They are $208 a week better off. That is a one-third pay increase over that period of time.
