Labour leader Andrew Little has, unsurprisingly, attacked the government's Budget, saying it is running out of ideas to tackle the big issues facing New Zealand.
“It’s not a Budget for the future, it’s a Budget for September 23,” he said in a post-Budget media conference.
“For all National’s talk about tax cuts, the reality is that a single cleaner on a minimum wage will get just $1 a week extra. It’s the One Dollar Bill Budget.”
He says the big winners of this Budget are the top earners who take home most of the tax benefits.
