Budget failure and tax rise blamed on Treasurer
A political column criticizes the National Government’s budget after seven months in office. It claims a £836,311 deficit, higher spending, and reduced revenue, with ministers urged to cut waste quickly. It questions rail and health cost handling and mocks the Treasurer’s defence of delays and acts. The piece calls for immediate economies and even salary cuts if necessary to restore financial confidence.
