Steven Joyce: Former National Finance Minister on the 2024 Budget

A former National Government Finance Minister says Nicola Willis did well with what she had.   The Government's Budget includes changes to tax thresholds for three and a half million people.   Funded through a suite of scrapped spending initiatives, all workers on more than $14,000 a year will receive between $4 and $40 a fortnight.   Steven Joyce told Mike Hosking that the Finance Minister took a solid first step towards rebuilding the Government's finances.   He says it also gets the balance right between the private sector and families versus the large and increasing government spend.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
