Shane Jones: We won’t let the economy be assailed by Greens. We will turn on the engines of growth

[@stevekinney7423]

At last, we have a government that realizes that this is the 21st century, and we are not in the Stone Age that the previous regime would have us live in. Keep up the good work, Shane.

[@deksper]

Yes; and Shane Jones has shown, that when it is time, he will be very capable of leading a very strong NZF Party.

[@patriciakimber4312]

Eloquent and intelligence with humour , he leaves the opposition for dead , they can’t compete with intelligence So glad I voted New Zealand first

Thank you Shane Jones for the sanity that you and nz first bring us,

[@jamesdonald7485]

Hear hear!!!

[@carlasmith1700]

Bravo, Shane Jones. Sense has returned to parliament.

[@sandypike2431]

Well said Mr Jones. This needs to be heard and properly thought about by those who are hell bent on division in this country. And these people somehow think that they owe greater allegiance to international masters and their ideologies than they do to both signatories of the Treaty of Waitangi. A first priority of nz parliamentarians is to ALL the people of nz and their welfare. We do not need to become charities propping up the shortfall of countries who have failed to realize the demands of globalist ideologies. We are a small, island nation with a small population and have untapped potential wrapped up in red tape by politicians who serve not the people of nz but their chosen globalist ideologies.

[@viktormanevski4467]

Great speech .. as always direct, no apologetic ... practical approach to grow NZ economy and better the life for Newzealanders

[@dealarr]

Shane Jones you make Parliament debates fun to watch.

[@lindamckenzie6500]

Exactly...

[@MrTumblingmoth]

Wow. Shane expresses what many think with passion and reason. Its great that NZ First are in play properly. The move on the seabed claims that are a blight on fairness is now under review. This has been the elephant in the room. At long last a proper conversation can be had without calls of racism.The Waitangi Tribunal is another institution to be brought back to what it should be doing

[@tonywood3660]

Only elephant I see is Shane (slip me some koha) Jones.

[@diablojames]

Finally some common sense and logic in the Beehive ... thank you NZ First 🙏 😊

We are with you Shane. Started working when I was 13 years old. Most of us want to work hard so long as opportunities exist. Cut the grifters off - get them being productive. Co investment not co governance I love it Shane!

[@raywheeler3135]

Yep those grifting landlords getting billions of dollars in taxpayer handouts should get a job and pay taxes.

[@schlookie]

​@raywheeler3135 I'm a landlord. If you rented one of my properties, I'd be putting your rent up, just because of your attitude

My business is struggling and if I wasn't clever with my budget and borrowed heavily I would be out of business, So living within my means is how I do it, I like this government living within their means and promoting business growth. Over borrowing by governments and councils is the evil of leadership and some welcome the evil others understand that others will pay harshly for that evil

its the interferance of "hand picked" State funding dispersments that has killed our business. Why not require an apples with apples approach emerge where State services remain just that and are not supported to create competing business with funded monopoly and privilage. Let business need economically advance and fund science based on attempts to become more efficient.
