National Party Bid












In a "KeyNote" speech in Rotorua this week, John Key spoke about National's economic and infrastructure plans. "National is conscious of the challenging economic conditions facing the world right now.

These challenges will have serious implications for New Zealand, and we shouldn't underestimate them. The reality is that the New Zealand economy is currently in recession, and the US economy, in particular, is looking shaky."

Keys outlines a plan to back businesses and grow infrastructure as his Party's main objective. He talks about growing the economy to build economic growth. He outlines traffic jams; slow internet connections; inadequate public transport networks and calls to cut back on electricity use as issues that constrain productivity growth and putting a huge pressure on inflation. The way forward, in his view, is to reduce debt for the average New Zealander and to invest in a prosperous future.

Key also speaks of family life as a core value and pledges a commitment to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of core social services.
