David Farrar (Kiwiblog) stated the facts....

  • The fact that public sector employees are paid an average of $2,003 a week compared to $1,592 a week for private sector employees whose taxes fund the public sector


  • An offer to primary teachers that would see those paid over $100,000 increasing from 40% to 66%


  • An offer to secondary teachers that would see those paid over $100,000 increasing from 60% to 76%


  • An average total remuneration package for senior doctors of $343,500 a year, plus six weeks annual leave and a three month paid sabbatical every six years.


  • A 2% increase for senior nurses whose average salary is already $125,662


  • An offer to graduate nurses whose current salary of $75,773 would see them earning $84,150 by June 2026.


The Unions fund the Labour Party - so this is a direct beat-up of the National Coalition Government, that has nothing to do with achieving a fair outcome for Public Sector employees, and everything to do with weaponising our children, our elderly and our health compromised, to achieve political mischief. This is political hypocrisy at its worst by Labour.
