- Description
'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister's adviser tells him that he should do more for pre-schoolers in the Budget because they are the only ones who still believe the minister can get New Zealand out of its financial mess. Context - the minister is Finance Minister Bill English who will present the 2011 budget on Thursday 19 May. "The theme of Budget 2011 will be about building savings and investment, because as a country we need to save more, spend a bit less and reduce our heavy reliance on foreign debt. "The Government has already indicated that it intends to borrow less in future than is currently forecast and get back to budget surplus sooner. "Therefore, the Budget this year will reduce new operating spending to around $800 million to $900 million a year, from the current allowance of $1.1 billion. We will prioritise new spending on health and education and set a path to meaningful surplus in 2014/15 - a year earlier than forecast. (Business Scoop 9 February 2011)
