IN ... NZ National Party @NZNational Party Apr 17 National is careful and responsible with taxpayers' money. Labour treats it like an endless ATM. We've stopped wasteful government spending while continuing to invest in the frontline services you rely on. 2023 NZ BA TRA National N ZBACK RACK MAORI 3/ We'll stop wasteful spending. 2026 We made $44b of savings in our first two Budgets. A Parigned by Parlatmary Service

Graeme Edgeler @GraemeEdgeler ... Total appropriations in Labour's last budget (2023/24) were $174.7b with estimated spending in 2025/26 of $167.8b. Total appropriations in your most recent budget (2025/26) were $188.0b. That's not $44b of savings. You're spending much more than they did. 1:48 PM Apr 17, 2026 2,737 Views
