Exactly What Did The National Govt Do?




After only two and a half years of headline grabbing achievements from a great Labour led coalition government. Its easy to totally forget what the national government did with their nine long, dark years..


  • I know they raised taxes,
  • Increased GST from 12% to 15%. And
  • Started taxing children who delivered papers and circulars for pocket money

    • Cant remember they did anything else...

    I remember John Key spent most of that time on holiday in Hawaii on the NZ Taxpayer

    What a total waste of 9 years..

Election '23, Luxon  swore he’d lower inflation, deliver tax relief, grow the economy and crush the cost-of-living crisis. Supplied by : Bruce Alpine Two-and-a-half years later the record is unforgivable: his government’s deliberate austerity and stubborn low-wage policy have deliberately prolonged a per-capita recession, spiked unemployment to decade highs, and left hard-working Kiwi famil...

C hristopher Luxon and National stormed into power in 2023 on a wave of bluster:  " Get NZ Back On Track " and "Get ahead together," they crowed, vowing to axe waste, unleash tax cuts, and bulldoze through the cost-of-living crunch with laser-focused growth.  No more Labour's "miserable" handouts—just disciplined surpluses by 2027, jobs for all, and relief for families crushed by inflation.  Two years on, in November 2025, it...

N ational’s high-ranking MPs have turned media stand-ups into reflexive anti-Labour rants, exposing a glaring inability to articulate and sell their own vision for New Zealand’s future. Finance Minister Nicola Willis and campaign chair Simeon Brown exemplify this habit.  Rather than confidently outlining progress on “fixing the basics” or painting an optimistic path forward, their appearances devolve into scripted attacks, dossiers, and soundbites that dominate airtime but betray insecurity.  In a recent Sunday press conference , Willis brandished “Labour’s Hidden Bill”—a glossy document claiming a $18.2 billion shortfall between Labour’s spending promises - pay equity restoration, reversing cuts, transport caps, and their capital gains tax revenue.  She challenge...
