What we're expected to believe is that that's because he's going to use every dollar as carefully as possible. What we're expected to do is judge him by the amount of money he is spending, not by what it delivers. This is the same Minister of Finance who presided over a $1.9 billion boost for mental health that delivered not an extra specialist service, that was poorly coordinated, that didn't deliver outcomes. But, yet, he says, "Trust me; just give me $6 billion more. I'll do better next time." This is the Minister who put billions into housing—and what do we have? The longest waiting list in history. We have thousands of children living in motels. But don't worry; the officials at head office found $24 million to do up their digs! And don't worry; Kāinga Ora has enough money to bid against first-home buyers, to buy up State houses!
