"Budget 2005 demonstrates the Government's commitment to achieving a more secure future for New Zealand. It continues our investment in social priorities and delivers significant new packages to support business and encourage savings.
Our approach to fiscal management is unchanged: to strengthen public finances to prepare for the future costs associated with an ageing population. This provides a solid fiscal foundation to support economic growth and from which we can deliver on our policy priorities."
