Poll: Are you following the Budget release today?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

ANALYSIS: Budget 2025 is a mixture of investment boosts, nipping and tucking and with an eye towards growth.

It is a modest affair, that has redirected money towards coalition Government priorities - especially defence, health, education and law and order - and has reprioritised more spending, while eschewing any major cuts.
