Budget 2011 sets out the next steps of the Government’s programme to build faster growth, increase national savings, and create sustainable jobs built on savings, exports and productive investment.
It also sets up a $5.5 billion Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Fund to help rebuild Christchurch after the two devastating earthquakes.
We have continued to protect the most vulnerable New Zealanders through extensive programmes such as Working for Families, New Zealand Superannuation, and welfare benefits, as well as investing significantly more in health and education.
This is a responsible and balanced Budget for the times. It takes steps to ensure the Government returns to Budget surplus by 2014/15. We can then start repaying debt and contributing to higher national savings, so that New Zealanders have the jobs and higher incomes they deserve.
