- Description
The cartoon shows Minister of Energy and Resources Gerry Brownlee with his mouth open showing two teeth, one labeled 'credibility' and the other 'gap'. Text above reads 'Tasman wage gap $40 wider despite Brownlee's denials...news'. Economic Development Minister Gerry Brownlee has claimed the gap in average wages is now less than it was when Labour left office in November 2008. However, a comparison of average weekly earnings in November 2008 and February this year shows New Zealand wages grew by 5.2 per cent over that period while Australia's grew by 6.7 per cent. The wage gap between New Zealand and Australian workers has widened by $40 to $580 a week since National came to power in late 2008 promising to address the income gap. (Stuff)
