New Zealand’s incoming Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said under the country’s new leadership, its residents will see more conservative policies such as cutting taxes and reducing gun restrictions.
“We believe in this country, we are ambitious for it and we know that with the right leadership, the right policies, and the right direction, together we New Zealanders can make this an even better country,” Luxon said.
New Zealand’s new three-party coalition government reportedly plans to “roll back the use of Maori language, review affirmative action policies and assess how the country’s founding treaty document is interpreted in legislation.”
Luxon claimed the government will amend the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 2021, in order to remove the ‘dual mandate’ on inflation and employment.
“The new government will cut personal income taxes, following through on a campaign policy used to woo middle income voters struggling with rising costs of living,” Luxon continued.
“Delivering tax relief is just one part of the Government’s plan to rebuild the economy. The Government will ease the cost of living, reduce wasteful spending, and lift economic growth to increase opportunities and prosperity for all New Zealanders,” Luxon said.
“We want change that makes our great country even better and this coalition government is going to deliver that change,” he said.
