Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I whakakahoretia e te kaihautū atarangi te whakapiki i te tāke umanga e rima ōrau. I whakatuwherahia e Ed Balls inanahi te tatau ki te whiu takoha ki nga pakihi, e whakatupato ana nga kaiwhakawhiwhi ka raru te whakaoranga ohaoha. I roto i tētahi uiuinga pouaka whakaata, kāore i whakaae te kaiārahi atarangi ki te whakakore i te pikinga e rima ōrau o te reiti matua o te tāke kaporeihana mēnā ka whakatūria e te Rōpū Mahi te kāwanatanga e whai ake nei. I pōhēhē hoki ia mō te 40 pene o te tāke moni whiwhi, i kukume ai ngā miriona tāngata i roto i ngā tau tata nei, e kī ana kāore ia i te tino mōhio me pēhea te tere o te pikinga o te paepae. Kua āwangawanga kē ngā pakihi ki ngā mahere kua kīa e Labour kia kaua e whakaheke i te tāke kaporeihana <unk> e utua ana e ngā kamupene nunui katoa i runga i ō rātou hua <unk> pērā i te oati a ngā Tories mēnā ka riro i a rātou te tari. Kua whakahekehia te reeti matua i raro i te Whakawhanaunga mai i te 28 ōrau ki te 21 ōrau. I te pātai mēnā ka whakaarahia e ia, ka whakaae anake a Mr Balls ki te pupuri i te reiti matua "te iti rawa i roto i te rōpū G7" o nga whenua. Ka whai wāhi tēnei ki te whakapiki ake ki te 26.5 ōrau, te taumata i whakaritea ki Kanata. I te wa i whakaarohia ai ka taea e te mahi te utu mo te <unk>24% ranei 25%, kaore ia i whakakorea, i kii noa: <unk>Me whakarite tatou kia tautoko tatou i nga pakihi... ka pupuri tatou i a tatou utu iti.<unk> I whakatūpato a John Cridland, kaiwhakahaere matua o te CBI, i te wiki kua hipa, ko ngā mahere a Labour ki te whakauru atu ki ngā mākete, pēnei i te mākete pūngao, ā, ko ō rātou "tohu mō te tāke kaporeihana he take āwangawanga". I tāpiri atu ia ko te pikinga o ngā tāke pakihi ka "whakaheke i te ahunga whakamua ki te hanga i te pūnaha tāke katoa kia kaha ake te whakataetae, me te tuku i te tohu hē ki nga umanga o nga waahanga katoa me nga rahi katoa". I kī te minita o te pūtea, a David Gauke, ko te tūponotanga o te pikinga o te tāke pakihi he "whakawehe mārama ki te haumaru o te mahi a te iwi mahi ā muri ake nei". Ka mea ia: <unk>E mārama ana kei te waiho e Ed Miliband rāua ko Ed Balls te tatau ki tētahi pikinga tāke kino e mōrearea ana ki te utu i ngā mahi, e mōrearea ana ki te utu i te haumi, e mōrearea ana ki te whakaoranga o te ohaoha.<unk> Ko te pokapū whakaaro o te Runga Tika mo nga Akoranga Kaupapahere kua kii te whakapiki i te taake kaporeihana ki te 24 ōrau i roto i nga tau e rima e whai ake nei...
I whakakahoretia e te Kaiwhakahaere o te atarangi te whakapiki i te tāke umanga e rima ōrau. I pōhēhē hoki ia mō te 40 pene o te tāke moni whiwhi i te uiuinga. Kua āwangawanga kē ngā pakihi ki ngā mahere a Labour kia kaua e whakaheke i te tāke. Kua whakahekehia te reeti matua e te roopu mai i te 28 ki te 21 ōrau.
