‘Economic policy bankrupt’
The Government should be called to account for the social disaster it was imposing on young people in New Zealand, said the Young Nationals yesterday. Young people had “had a gutsful of excuses from this Government on the appalling unemployment statistics,” said the policy
spokesman, Mr Nick Smith. “For the first three years in office, every ill of Rogernomics was blamed on the previous National Government, and for the next three years they seem to intend blaming everything on the share market crash,” said Mr Smith. “It’s time the Govern-
ment was held responsible for the social disaster it is imposing on young people.” The Government’s economic policy was bankrupt, because it failed to recognise that production based enterprises were the key to prosperity and full employment, said Mr Smith.
