Some people seem to have very short memories. Life isn't perfect for too many but it's a darned sight better than it ever was under a National and Act government. Do you remember that the minimum wage was only $15.75 an hour in 2017? It's now $22.70 an hour. Other wages have gone up as well. Kids were hungry but at least now they get free lunches at school. There are also thousands fewer kids living in poverty because incomes have increased. Girls get period products so they don't have to be embarrassed or stay at home.
