Destiny: Promoting Business Promotes Family
Destiny New Zealand candidate for Hutt South, David Knight outlined their Business Policy at a Development Wainuiomata
breakfast this morning.
“97% of businesses in New Zealand employ less than 20 people. These are businesses owned by fathers and mothers. They
are family businesses. So when they prosper, families prosper,” said Mr Knight
According to Mr Knight, Destiny New Zealand wants to foster an environment of incentive, reward and celebration for
successful New Zealand businesses. “First we will tackle the obvious. Lower the business and personal tax rates and
reduce compliance costs to keep the wealth in the home. But we are next generation minded and we want to raise a
generation of wealth creators through the introduction of money management skills, and ‘how to start and run a
successful business’ courses into the school curriculum. We also have a vision for ‘Young Entrepreneurs Colleges' to
maximise the entrepreneurial potential of the next generation.”
The meeting was attended by about 50 local businessmen and women. Other speakers included Rosemarie Thomas (National),
Trevor Mallard (Labour), Paul Bruce (Greens), and Lindsay Mitchell (ACT).
