The Minister of Finance, in question time today, just couldn't believe that was possible. Well, those rumours about how bad he was at maths at King's High School in Dunedin are clearly true, because one of the things you do firstly in order to reduce spending is to reduce the impact of a lockdown. Get business back to work sooner so they can rely on their own merits, not on Government support. The second thing is to stop spending money on dumb stuff and on things that are completely unrelated to COVID. This Government has used COVID as the cloak for profligate spending on things that have tenuous or no links to the outbreak. We've gone through them before in this House: three waters, cameras on fishing boats, wallaby control, money for RNZ to compensate for lost revenue that they hadn't actually lost.
