This pandemic has opened a window on to something new, something better. We can see it's out there, but the question is whether we have the courage to step outside, to find the space that we need to reimagine the economic house of cards that we've built for ourselves. There is so much good work to be done making things better for everyone. Of course, we can choose to stay inside and be burdened with the knowledge that the people who keep us well and make our economy run will continue to be underpaid, that our precious wild spaces will continue to be decimated, and our atmosphere polluted, or we can step outside and reimagine our world anew. This Budget is the introductory chapter to a longer-term vision for a more prosperous, more equitable, and greener New Zealand. Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
