We needed a credible plan for maximising prosperity. Jacinda Ardern told us on election night that she would govern for all New Zealanders. Well, where was anything in this Budget for middle New Zealanders—the battlers of this country who work hard to look after their family, people who are trying to save for a first home? These are people that are being squeezed from every direction right now and the Budget does not provide a single dollar for middle New Zealand. At a time when we have near record terms of trade, we have milk prices sky high, and interest rates at record low, New Zealanders could be forgiven for thinking that the Budget would actually look to lift some of the burdens that the Government has placed on them. Instead, we see a Government focused on increasing the rate at which they spend our taxpayers' hard-earned money. By 2024, Government debt is set to exceed $94,000 for every New Zealand household. This is borrowed money, borrowed from New Zealand workers, and it will need to be paid back. It will be our children and our grandchildren having to pay back for this Government's reckless spending.
