The two party co-leaders made their comments at the E tū union campaign launch in Māngere in South Auckland today. In a press release, Davidson said current pressures on workers meant they were unable to spend quality time with their whānau and friends. “The National Party can’t tell you how they’re going to pay for all the commitments they are making.”Both National and Act proposed cutting the public service in order to reduce government spending. Hipkins said a government led by National, Act and NZ First would lead to “thousands” of workers out of work before Christmas.
