When govt cares about the military more than low-wage women...and then proves they don't care about the military either.

People come last, and corporations first, for profit-driven governments like this one.

Just days after announcing $12 billion in funding for a huge expansion of the NZ military, government announced it would be cutting 370 roles.

Now, to a normal person, this might seem confusing. Illogical.

Why would you put an absolutely huge amount of additional funding into the Defence Forces at the same time you’re gutting so many Defence Force jobs?

But as with every announcement this government has made, you must simply ask yourself one question: “Does this decision benefit corporate profits?”
