The results of six years of a John Key Government is a so-called ‘rock star' economy and we are on the right track and will continue along these lines.

Then we're told on Friday there's a nationwide appeal to feed the hungry children in our schools.

On Saturday, hundreds if not thousands of people marched up the main street of Auckland protesting the level of poverty in our country.

The poverty levels are real and measurable.

Rock star is emotive and intangible term. To me a more apt description would be ‘rock bottom' economy.
