In the past John Key has categorically stated he does not have to stand by results of a referendum. After spending $26 million plus on referendums when 80 per cent of the polls state no change is wanted, can we trust John Key to accept the final result? His history does not encourage us to have faith in his word.
Consider the removal of workers' rights to meal and tea breaks, zero labour contracts, selling of state housing, the changing of labour laws to the benefit of large foreign corporations to the detriment of New Zealand workers, and selling our farm lands and other land to overseas interests.
You only have to look at real estate in Auckland where high prices stop New Zealanders from purchasing their fi rst home. Progress cannot be stopped; however it can be controlled.
Does our past and future have to suffer so the rich get richer and the land of the long white cloud becomes the black cloud?
