- Description
Finance Minister Bill English as a surgeon stands with his trolley of operating tools and a bucket labelled 'promises' and asks his patient if he is ready. The patient replies 'No'. Context - The patient represents the 2011 budget which was announced on Thursday 19 May. The New Zealand government ran an operating deficit of $10.16 billion in the nine months ended March 31, almost 15 per cent worse than forecast in December, as earthquake costs and a weaker than expected economic recovery hit the government's books. Also, Treasury said GST receipts were lower than expected and the benefits of income tax cuts were not flowing through as expected. The operation deficit before gains and losses (OBEGAL) was released today as part of the latest accounts to March - the last to be released before the government's budget on May 19. The Budget is expected to include no additional spending from the previous budget. (NZHerald 10 May 2011)
