We have to tackle the systematic issues through investing to address the long-term challenges like inequality. Inequality in this country became chronic. It moved the country from one of the most egalitarian countries to one of the most unequal countries. Low wages have been persistent. Hard-working Kiwis—in the last nine years of National Government there were hardly increases in wages. Our essential workers—we heard some of the Opposition members the other day singing praise to our essential workers, yet they don't talk about increasing their wages. Singing praise is good—it's a good gesture—but it's not going to put food on the tables of these hard-working people. The Opposition needs to realise this.
