Talk to business owners out there and most of them are having to cut staff numbers.
The wage subsidy was indeed simply staving off the inevitable.
Now, here's the crucial point per discussion about beneficiaries : if employers topping up employees’ remuneration = employers being beneficiaries, then we know where this country is heading with Comrade Cindy & her incompetents in charge.
Breeding beneficiaries - there’s no getting away with that basic principle of Labour’s economic strategy & policy.
