As we faced up to COVID-19 and deployed such significant support in such a short space of time, we had to take another look at our plans as a Government. As in businesses all around New Zealand, important work has had to be slowed or postponed, and resources have had to be reprioritised in light of the fight against COVID-19. The Budget is no exception. The new spending packages planned on our five priorities that were announced in the Budget Policy Statement have been reassessed. We may revisit them in future, but the focus for Budget 2020 has now very quickly become providing the strong public services we need and taking our next steps to recover and rebuild. New Zealand's ability to respond rapidly and effectively to this crisis has highlighted the importance of investing in and maintaining effective core Government services. I will briefly run through the main elements of the core package to maintain and enhance these services.
