But this Budget couldn't just deal with the here and now; this Budget had to deal with the long-term issues that New Zealand faces. It was a Budget that focused on climate, and it was a Budget that focused on health. It was yet another Budget delivered by our Government that also did not kick the infrastructure can down the road, that recognised that investment needs to be made or we will be left behind and we will be leaving it to another Government to play catch-up like we have had to in Government after nine years of under-investment in infrastructure from the previous National Government.
