This Government has been fixated on lifting incomes through artificial means like lifting minimum wage and restricting new migrant labour. They didn't care how much that impacted on our businesses. But the only real gains in income you get is when they are sustainable through increased productivity. Increased productivity only occurs when we have people with the right skills and the right qualifications. From early childhood through to primary and secondary school, through to tertiary education, we must ensure that New Zealanders are being equipped with the skills and attributes that will help to grow this economy.
