National has released a 100 point plan for rebuilding NZ’s economy. Some the points I think are worth hightailing are:
- Reduce spending on consultants and contractors by $400 million per year.
- Reduce spending on back-office functions in government departments by $594 million per year (less than 0.5 per cent of total government spending) to fund National’s Back Pocket Boost tax relief plan.
- Target spending on the frontline – and increase funding for frontline Health and Education by at least the rate of inflation every year.
- Establish Better Public Service Targets, setting out specific measurable targets for the delivery of public services, reporting against these and holding ministers and agencies accountable for delivery.
- Deliver taxpayers a “Taxpayer’s Receipt” from Inland Revenue, breaking down where the taxes they worked hard to pay have been spent, for example education, health, and welfare.
- End the Reserve Bank’s dual mandate and refocus it solely on putting the lid back on inflation.
- End the proposed $30 billion Auckland Light Rail farce that has cost taxpayers $155 million over the last six years but delivered zero metres of track.
- Stop all work on Labour’s planned income insurance ‘Jobs Tax’.
- Repeal Labour’s RMA 2.0 changes which will increase bureaucracy, increase legal complexity and remove local decision making.
- Deliver 13 new Roads of National Significance, including the initial stages of a long-term vision of four lanes from Whangārei to Tauranga – starting with Whangārei to Port Marsden, Warkworth to Wellsford, Cambridge to Piarere and Tauriko West State Highway 29.
- Provide housing performance incentives for councils, with a $1 billion fund for Build- for-Growth incentive payments for councils that deliver more new housing, funded by stopping failed programmes like KiwiBuild.
Voters can choose change or they can choose the status quo.
