An issue I feel strongly about:
I'm really concerned about the economic problems young New Zealanders
will have to face. For example, houses have been priced into
unreachability, and most young families can hardly even afford a
deposit. I'm especially worried about the current tax system, because
not only does it take too much from the average person, but there
are ways for the rich to pay almost no tax at all.
Here is an alarming statistic: one in four New Zealanders are living
overseas. I am passionate about helping to make a nation they want to
return to.
