A greener economy, greater employment and more healthy homes are among the hopes and wishes of some Whanganui leaders ahead of the unveiling of the Government s Budget today. Set to be announced at Parliament at 2pm, the small clues floated by Finance Minister Grant Robertson suggest this year s Budget will again be focused on the Covid-19 recovery, as well as climate change and child poverty.
Whanganui mayor Hamish McDouall said he hoped the Government used the Budget to play catch-up, not just with debt, but other issues it had also fallen behind on.
