National says the opening of the Government's books has confirmed New Zealand can no longer afford big-spending, low-growth policies.
Finance spokesman Bill English says the figures are an indictment on Michael Cullen's economic mismanagement. He says it is a day of reckoning for a Government which has focused on spending, and ignored the need for investment in future growth.
Mr English says the view National has held for some time is that Labour's Budget this year was too optimistic.
A source of funds would be to eliminate the seemingly needless bureacracy and over management of the country. We need to be sure that each public servant or asset is delivering outputs that contribute to the wealth or welfare of the nation. It is not a difficult thing to do.
Agree Sooshee.
Also there should put a complete ban on consultants to Government departments and just make the public servants do their job .......
