SHAME ON YOU JOHN KEY!

John Key: No one would ever become a millionaire on an honest day’s work or on NZ$15 per hour, so why bother?
The rags-to-$80million-riches PM of New Zealand has ruled out a minimum wage increase to NZ$15 this year despite two-thirds of New Zealanders supporting the increase.
- Current min wage in NZ (foreign workers and trainees get a lot less) : NZ$12.50 per hour
- Current min wage in Australia, calculated at an exchange rate of 1.255: NZ$17.98 per hour
- Number of New Zealand Children living in poverty: 219,627
- A coalition of non-government agencies estimates that 10,000 of the 60,000 children born in New Zealand in 2009, would be born into poverty.
- New Zealand military spending is about $2.2 billion on its military racket annually, and a large, undeclared sum on its secret/spy operations.
- Relationship between New Zealand’s military spending and the number of children living in poverty: Directly proportional, exponentially!
- The true number of New Zealanders who live below the poverty line: About ONE in SIX
- Cost of eradicating poverty in New Zealand: An honest, caring government and about 1 tenth of the annual military expenditure.

I Kill, You cook, I get more!
A NZ Army Warrant Officer Class One receives about NZ$75,000 base salary plus lots of allowances and extras, whereas the catering workers are expected to live on less than NZ$22,000 for comparable work. http://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/49761/air-force-catering-staff-strike-over-wages
About 100,000 New Zealanders receive the minimum wage, which is not enough to live on!
