English defends Budget on The Nation

3News NZ

Finance Minister Bill English told The Nation this morning this year’s Budget was a “moderate” one, without “any dramatic push anywhere in particular”.

He said New Zealand was in “better shape than most” and increasingly competitive with Australia.

The minister was joined by an expert panel, with New Zealand Herald economics editor Brian Fallow, Pattrick Smellie from BusinessDesk, and political commentator Colin James.

Funny isnt it Mr English that expert accountants and economists are coming out against our budget and calling it pointless and mean spirited and after analysing your figures they are quite clearly stating that the figures you have used are "extremely optomistic". In other words... worst budget that any government has ever delivered.
