- Description
Finance Minister, Bill English sits at a table with other members of the 'Strategic Economic Planning Committee'. He puts his hand on his heart and says 'I believe!' The other members of the committee are a cross-eyed Easter bunny carrying a basket of eggs that represent 'jobs', Santa Claus who represents 'wage rises' and a Christmas fairy who represents 'economic growth'. Context - The 2011 May budget has just been announced. The government has made cuts in KiwiSaver, Working for Families, student loans and the public sector and a statement about 'no new spending' in order to try to get the deficit down. The budget cuts are particularly hard on people with low or fixed incomes. Critics are concerned that the government does not appear to have plans for growth and development but is relying on belt-tightening to fix New Zealand's economic problems.
