It is the Budget where older people pay for the ideology of this Labour Government to centralise everything, in Wellington. It is the Budget where older people are fobbed off so that the Minister and his increasing band of expensive consultants can decide from Wellington what is good for older people and good for New Zealanders. It is the Budget that hides more than it helps; it hinders more than it hastens. It is the Budget that takes from older people. Labour doesn't care about older people.
