Not again, bloody National party screwing with the building sector again.

Last time they did this is cost the country 11.5 Billion dollars in damages.

They are all about business taking shortcuts instead of having to work hard for their profits.

The bill our family faced as a result of the leaky home debacle was enough to cause severe enough stress.

Now they want to start a repeat of the 1990's.

NEVER voting national again, they look after business and the rich but ordinary New Zealanders suffer as a result of their shortcuts.
