Shane Jones: NZ First promises a new focus on growth

Of Interest

The New Zealand First deputy leader and finance spokesperson Shane Jones is calling for higher growth and more productivity as a way to bring prosperity to a wider class of New Zealanders.

He adds this is the way to help Maori overcome negative social statistics, and the thicket of regulation governing business in all areas of the economy only makes things worse for everyone.

Jones adds tax relief will have to be looked at again because of the country's vulnerable economic condition.
