The Finance Minister has confirmed claims by Winston Peters that the fees-free university scheme, which covers the final year of tertiary education study for students, will be scrapped in the upcoming Budget.
The New Zealand First Leader made the comments to Newstalk ZB Friday evening.
In a statement this evening Nicola Willis confirmed the comments.
“Ongoing coalition negotiations have led to good Budget policy decisions that further the immediate and long-term interests of New Zealanders.”
The long term interests of conservative governments’ donors is a less educated workforce: that way they accept what they’re told without critically thinking about it.
The idiots think that means lower wages for lower educated workers, without to thinking it through to to he productivity of lower educated workers.
That aside; they’ll just say “good decisions that benefit [voters]” about anything they do, regardless of fact. It manufactures consent in the lesser educated populace.
