Todd Muller is Really Excited

Todd Muller
National Party Leader

I’m really excited to share with you National’s new JobStart policy. Yesterday, I announced that my government would provide a $10,000 cash payment to businesses for all additional new employees, giving small business owners greater confidence to hire new people.

Job numbers plunged by a record 37,500 last month. It’s the worst fall in both numbers and percentage terms since the filled jobs series began more than 20 years ago.

There is no doubt that by the election there will be tens upon tens of thousands of people newly unemployed.

National believes it is small business that can get those of our neighbours who become unemployed back into paid work as quickly as possible.

Small business owners who create jobs will be the heroes of this economic crisis, in the way that our nurses, doctors and all five million of us who stayed home were the heroes of the health crisis.

This is the biggest economic crisis in a generation. The JobStart policy is one important part of getting our economic recovery underway.

The 2020 Election in front of us will be about who has the team, experience, and track record to deliver sound economic management in a time of crisis.

Only National has a plan to revive the economy and keep Kiwis in jobs.

I’m going to give this campaign everything I’ve got, and I’d love your support.
