Sophie Trigger: ZB senior political reporter speculates about the pre-Budget announcements

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

There's less than a month left to go until the 2025 Budget - and there's plenty of speculation about the announcements to come. Finance Minister Nicola Willis has been clear in her initial statements that this coming Budget will be focused on getting the books back in order. The Government has slashed its operating allowance to just $1.3 billion dollars - a substantial drop from the $2.4 billion forecast by Treasury.   ZB senior political reporter Sophie Trigger says it's been made clear this won't be a 'lolly scramble' Budget.
