Government completes 100-day action plan

The National-led Government's first 100 days in office is up today with every item in its 100-day Action Plan completed, says Prime Minister John Key.

During the election campaign, National committed to 100 days of action should it form the government.

"Today marks 100 days since my government was sworn in," says Mr Key. "The plan covered actions on the economy, law and order, education, health, and electoral law.

"Every item has been ticked off. This week the Government announced its voluntary bonding initiatives, Plunketline funding, and our plans to tackle waiting lists.

"I am proud to lead a Government that kept its word and implemented its pre-election commitments, and within the deadline we set.

"However, the Action Plan is not the end. There will be other ideas and initiatives to come, some of which will arise out of the Jobs Summit being held tomorrow in Manukau."

Congratulations to the Prime Minister for hitting the ground running and making good election promises on a fast track. A few thoughts for your perusal: Since creating jobs is number one priority , the government should consider giving investment allowance(of say,25% of value) on investment in plant and machinery for new investments.This should be over and above normal depreciation and can be claimed anytime during the 1st 5 years of commercial operation. Companies which manufacture in NZ and export 80% or more of their production be allowed to sell upto 20% in the local market without GST. Identify major import substitution items for indigenisation and give special incentives to produce such items locally. Drilling for oil and gas should be on very fast track.Stopping import of oil could change NZ from current account deficit to surplus. I fully agree with the PM that there is no point in continuing to put money in NZ super now. It will go down the drain. There should be a temporary pass. Building industry is a prime-mover of NZ economy.Everything possible should be done to revive this.This will automatically pull other associated sectors as well.Government may consider insulating this sector from OCR increases.
