Ten things in National’s first budget

(1) An ongoing programme of ‘real’ personal tax cuts

(2) A substantial investment in infrastructure across public transport, roading, telecommunications, water and energy.

(3) A Resource Management Act Amendment Bill that will reduce the costs, delays and uncertainties of the RMA

(4) Policies that deliver the right incentives for people to choose work rather than welfare.

(5)·Reintroduce competition to the ACC system.

(6) A 90-day trial for new employees that will mean those who are most vulnerable in the labour market can be given a chance.

(7) An ongoing programme to fix the fact that 1 in 5 New Zealand kids are not succeeding at school.

(8) A stop to the flood of new regulations and red tape.

(9) Immigration policies that ensure we attract the best and skilled migrants that our country needs.

(10)· A sensible spending track that recognises the value of our core public services but doesn’t think the government should do everything in our society.

I think this shoes the substantial differences one would have in a National budget and Labour budget.
