3 NATIONAL MANAGING OUR DECLINE National promised a brighter future. It isn t delivering. After four years of National our economy is not delivering for far too many ordinary New Zealanders. Significant problems need to be addressed but the Government refuses to make the changes that need to be made. Unemployment has surged to a 13 year high. No extra jobs over the last year. Growth is the worst of any government in 50 years. The real economy of manufacturing and exports outside the primary sector is in decline. The current account is $10 billion in the red and getting worse. Revenue has dropped $13 billion below projections over 5 years, forcing the Government to raise petrol taxes to keep its surplus dream alive. The overvalued dollar is crippling our exporters and increasing NZ s overseas debt. National throws the blame wherever it can. At Europe, at Australia, at voodoo economists. But the blame lies squarely on their shoulders. As this road test shows they have failed to deliver on their own promises, let alone New Zealanders expectations. Promises like creating 170,000 new jobs, when the sad truth is the same number of people are looking for work and even more have left for Australia under their watch. National promised a brighter economic future and to close the wage gap with Australia. Neither has been achieved. The truth is National doesn t have the ideas or the willingness to make the changes needed. Behind every number is a person who failed to find a job, a family that can t keep ahead of their bills and a company owner who has had to close doors or lay off workers. Kiwis are sick of listening to four years of excuses. They deserve action. They want a government that will be hands on and make a difference.

Australian Bureau of Statistics Average Weekly Earnings. OECD PPP and Exchange Rates. Closing the wage gap with Australia was a cornerstone of National s 2008 election promise. The Government has stopped talking about this now. The Finance Minister recently said, it is no good crying at the airport or wringing your hands over New Zealanders heading to Australia. The weekly wage gap with Australia has grown by $27.73 a week since National has been in office, from $ a week in December 2008, to $ today The Government still won t even provide a milestone date by which the wage gap will be back to where it was when they took office. 9

11 THE FISCAL HOLE MIND THAT GAP: THE $13.2B FISCAL HOLE REVEALED FORECAST CORE CROWN REVENUE Pre-election 2011 May 2012 Dec Millions Since 2011 the Key Government has been quietly reducing revenue projections because the economy is flat. Now the shortfall totals 13.2 billion dollars DOUBLE the estimated value of National s sale of state assets. SOURCE: TREASURY - PREFU 2011, BUDGET 2012, HYEFU National s hands-off approach to the economy is not working. Repeated downgrades to job and growth forecasts have opened up a $13 billion hole in the five-year Government accounts. 11

13 SUPER FUND SOURCE: The Guardians of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund NATIONAL S 2008 POLICY PROMISE: National s policy is for the Super Fund to invest a greater proportion in New Zealand, while also safeguarding the fund as a source of future New Zealand superannuation payments, and overseen by independent guardians. National will set the target of at least 40% of the Super Fund to be invested in New Zealand. National said that more of the Super Fund was not invested in NZ in 2008, because Labour has done nothing to generate new investment opportunities. Therefore, National has to accept responsibility for failing to create investment opportunities in New Zealand in

15 NZ SUPER COSTS Cost of NZ Super vs Education, Dole and Welfare expenses Millions ($NZ) NZ Superannuation Education expenses All Welfare (excluding NZS) Unemployment Benefit SOURCE: TREASURY, HYEFU 2012 FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY REQUIRES RESPONSIBILITY AROUND NZ SUPER Ironically, the Finance Minister claimed in the 2012 Budget that, The Government is proposing introducing some additional principles into Part 2 of the Public Finance Act that ministers would have to take into account when setting fiscal policy. The proposed changes are designed to ensure greater transparency around how government decisions affect the wider economy and future generations. The single largest fiscal pressure in the government is the looming cost of NZ Superannuation. In three years, the annual cost of NZ Super will exceed annual spending on all of the welfare system, or all of the education system from pre-school to tertiary. It will be large multiples of spending on unemployment. And with the retirement of baby boomers, along with rising life expectancy, the cost pressures will only rise. National s refusal to deal with the issue makes it more likely it will impose unfair and sudden change later when it s too late for individuals to change their plans. 15

27 A BETTER WAY A LABOUR WAY Many of National s policies have passed their use-by date. Economists, many governments and major institutions such as the IMF realise that the world has changed. They know new answers are needed. New Zealanders understand this too and know that we must change as well. Kiwis want real and innovative solutions to take this country forward. They want a Government that sees problems and gets stuck in to fix them rather than try to explain them away. That s why there is significant support for major Labour policies, including KiwiBuild, raising the retirement age, universal KiwiSaver, updating our monetary policy and a capital gains tax. It s time for a hands-on government, one that is committed to making a real difference in people s lives. LABOUR S SOLUTIONS Build 100,000 new homes in 10 years, a policy that will create 4,000 jobs. Help exporters and manufacturers by changing the Reserve Bank Act so we achieve a fair and competitive exchange rate. Help the manufacturing industry achieve its vision of being a modern, high-tech driver of our economy, employing New Zealanders in well-paid jobs and supporting other parts of the economy. Change tax to encourage investment in productive, exporting industries. A capital gains tax and research and development tax credits are a key part of this. A new vision for skills, education and training so that New Zealanders can take advantage of the job opportunities of a 21st century economy. Investing more in innovation and science by reinstating Research and Development tax credits. Tighter controls on foreign purchases of productive farm land and infrastructure. Prudent decisions about looming fiscal pressures, including the age of eligibility for superannunation. Introducing Universal KiwiSaver to build our savings so that we can own our own country. 27
