Grant Robertson goes on about being fiscally responsible, but it's always in the distant future when he's going to be fiscally responsible, not now. So this year, he's just an old-fashioned, 1970s-style, tax and spend Labour finance Minister. Nothing special, nothing unexpected, par for the course—spend, spend, spend, borrow, borrow, borrow, and hope for the best. That's what the Budget's all about, and all of his talk about being responsible is for another time. Because he's raided next year's Budget allowances, he doesn't have enough left for next year to deal even with inflationary costs to stand still. I guarantee that next year, he will not stick to the amount he is allowed for spending in the next Budget.
