Everybody wants more out of the Budget but no one wants to pay extra taxes to cover it. Everyone wants to go to heaven no one wants to die.
This eighth English Budget continues to invest in the social space by lifting the visibility of the taxpayer on what their bang for the buck in health, welfare, education and justice delivers. This is known globally as the social return on investment policy.
It is an outstanding intergenerational policy that will be a lasting legacy for English and Key.
Programmes must be delivered shaped by the community and into the community not by a large group of third party bureaucrats.
