The Treasury points out the importance of a strong and sustainable fiscal position. We're only positioned to respond to future shocks if we stay solvent and crises if we can maintain low debt levels, but that has blown out massively. How do you get back to a situation of low debt to GDP? By getting wasteful spending under control. Sadly, this Government has exercised no restraint, no control when it comes to spending New Zealand taxpayers' hard-earned money, and, as you'll see from some of the plans here, they haven't even modelled the effects of climate change, super, or anything to do with demographic change in this country. Yet in this Budget, there will be money dished out for a green agenda. It used COVID as an excuse to expand the size of Government. It was purely ideological. Thirty percent of GDP was used, and Labour believes that politicians should be making decisions about how to spend taxpayers' money. Grant Robertson knows much better how to manage money, but he's going along with it as well.
