Bill English has slammed the Government on their free year of tertiary education policy during his adjournment speech in Parliament today.
A fired up Mr English said the free year of tertiary education is "soaking up staff out of McDonalds."
"It has 18-year olds planning their holidays
"I've heard these conversations myself and the sheer dumbness of paying for 80,000 people to get it free to attract another 2,000 into the tertiary system," he said.
The leader of the National Party also said listening to Labour’s "moral awesomeness and self-congratulation" of the family incomes package is "a bit rich".
"They opposed every single measure that it took to generate the surpluses that they are handing out," he said.
"That is why they won't get the credit they expect from the New Zealand public.
"Because the New Zealand public know that it's a bunch of people who found the lolly bag and ran the lolly scramble without having any idea where it came from," Mr English said, making a statement that the previous Government left Labour in a strong position.
