WELLINGTON - Releasing what it said were key details of Thursday’s budget, New Zealand’s main opposition party slammed the government for “all spin and no substance” in its highly-anticipated wellbeing budget.
Bridges said the government’s budget would see defense spending go up sharply to NZ$1.3 billion , from NZ$641 million last year, and double spending in forestry with an extra $138 million. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has said the government would unveil the nation’s first ‘wellbeing’ budget on Thursday which would prioritize areas like mental health, child poverty, domestic abuse and others.
“This is not budget 2019,” Robertson said in a press conference addressing the leaked budget details.
