Macindoe TimHon TIM MACINDOE (National—Hamilton West): One of the most basic mistakes that any Government can make is to overpromise and under-deliver and that is exactly what this Government has done. But when you compound that mistake by absolutely letting down groups and organisations out in the community who worked so hard to get you elected in the first place it really does amount to the epic failure that Maggie Barry mentioned earlier on. I can only imagine that the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance must have been delighted and hugely relieved when all that saturation coverage of the royal wedding took the pressure and the coverage off their lame effort last weekend.This was a terrible Budget for my constituents in Hamilton West. Gone are those vitally needed roading projects that we in the National-led Government had promised to extend the Waikato Expressway down to Tīrau to make driving safer and faster between Hamilton and Tauranga—two of the fastest-growing cities in the country.There's no commitment in this Budget to tackling the major shortage of doctors in rural and provincial centres. We in the National-led Government committed in last year's election to doing something serious about that and it just so happened that the Waikato Medical School proposal would have been a superb and internationally proven model to be able to deliver those services yet there is nothing about that in the Budget. We know that 40 percent of country doctors are expected to retire in the next five years yet the current Minister of Health is burying his head in the sand and wouldn't even look at the Waikato proposal. If this is a Labour Government that's not putting people first.There's not even a mention in the Budget of Labour's much-touted commuter railway link between Hamilton and Auckland and they were going to go on to Tauranga as well. That was the one thing that they really did promise in my region and it's not even mentioned in the Budget.It is no surprise that so many organisations and individuals are hugely disappointed after this year's Budget dashed all their hopes and expectations especially those that had been raised over and over again in last year's election campaign. We said then that their promises were reckless and unaffordable and this Budget shows that we were right. As the Hon Amy Adams said in the House this afternoon this is the dowry Budget" as far as New Zealand First is concerned but for the Labour Party it's a litany of broken promises and for the Greens it's abject humiliation.We've seen that it's a Budget that delivers for Winston Peters with his billion dollars for diplomats and for Shane Jones with his $3 billion slush fund to drum up support for areas that most matter to his particular party. But the Greens have had to take about 10 percent of that—there's only a one-seat difference between the two; you'd think that the Greens had only 10 percent of New Zealand First's MP numbers—and they have to pretend that they're pleased about it.It's a Budget of massive disappointment to Labour's friends and campaign supporters. They promised cheaper doctors visits in this year's Budget. Did they deliver? No. It was slim pickings in the ACC portfolio. Where was the Government's commitment in this year's Budget to pay equity funding for those who work in areas funded by our ACC system? Absolutely not there. During the election they talked that talk. Labour campaigned on their commitment to that goal but judge them not by their words but by their actions. What did they do? Not only is there no provision in last week's Budget for that pay equity funding but when they had the opportunity to vote for something similar—a very good pay equity measure that was promoted by my colleague Denise Lee MP just a few weeks ago—they voted it down.They splashed the cash before Christmas on their tertiary education zero-fees policy at a cost of $2.8 billion over the next four years but now they can't find funding for the children's camps that have made such a difference in people's lives. They can't find the promised funding for Whānau Ora and yet it's one of the most important things they could have done. They can't meet their promises to our most vulnerable citizens.This Budget is a con and a fraud. It is fraudulent. It's dishonest. It's an irresponsible first Budget from the Labour - New Zealand First - Green coalition. It's a litany of broken promises. Well I can only hope that in the next two years that they rediscover their principles that they—Hon Scott Simpson: And their heart.Hon TIM MACINDOE: —work out their heart and discover some priorities and that they remember their promises because if they can't find all of those things before they deliver another one they are destined quite rightly to be evicted in 2020."
