Government challenged to focus on economic growth

July 19, 2012 - 6:49pm

The Labour opposition has raised the spectre of job losses, after the New Zealand dollar pushed past US80c.

The currency also reached record levels against the Euro late yesterday.

Former Otago, and now list MP, David Parker warns Kiwi's should brace themselves for job losses, as the high dollar punishes exporters.

He challenged the Government to focus on economic growth to give business the best opportunity.
