So economists & political pundits overwhelmingly unimpressed with the Gvt's 1st budget.
The "tax relief" is paltry and achieved by borrowings and other cuts; debt will ratchet up under this conservative triad; some really cruel actions ie denying access to critical meds for cancer patients; and the systemic issues haunting NZ - housing, healthcare, climate and infrastructure - remain unaddressed.
Luxon & Willis' obfuscation and cliches can't hide the utter paucity of their approach #NZBudget -

Cancer patients won't have access to essential meds.
Our children will knowingly be given lunches of lesser nutritional value.
The maximum tax cut will be available to less than 3k families in the country.
A couple on super will get the colossal amount of $4.00 extra in "tax relief" per fortnight.But landlords can claim significant tax rebates on their rental income.
Writ large - these are the priorities & values of a gvt with privilege and meanness at its centre.

I had a Tory mate tell me he was unable to make today's hīkoi because as a member of the silent majority he had to keep the wheels of industry moving.
Cheers to Spiderhoof' for this sped up footage of the numbers marching against this racist corrupt #NZPol govt in Tāmaki Makaurau today.

"In the normal course of events, almost everyone asked to seriously comment on the Budget will be tertiary educated, probably home-owning (with mortgages, or not), and disproportionately from households whose incomes are higher than average.
So, we’ve driven north. The less beaten track. Why north? Well, the New Zealand Index of Multiple Deprivation has been here before us. "

"Nicola Willis’ big tax-cutting Budget for 2024 due on May 30 is shaping up as the heir to Ruth Richardson’s ‘Mother of all Budgets’ in 1991, which traumatised a generation and cost the National Finance Minister her job two years later.

"As Treasury concludes: 'Unemployment levels have consistently remained lower than Treasury forecasts, which anticipated a peak of close to 10 percent at Budget 2020, followed by forecasts of nearly 8 percent unemployment at the Pre-election Update 2020.'
This isn’t spin. This is the Treasury's dispassionate analysis."
