April 1 – A Day To Celebrate

Today sees the start of a number of flagship policies announced by Labour in recent times. The minimum wage officially rises to $12, the company tax rate drops from 33 percent to 30 percent, benefits and allowances increase, and employer contributions to KiwiSaver start at 1 percent.

There is certainly something for everyone in these policies, and it is good to see Labour continuing to roll out progressive and substantive policy. I suspect people all around the country will be celebrating today.
