That's small change compared to the $20 Billion we would have lost by 2031 from the NZ Superannuation fund, if National had won the 2020 election & implemented their policy to halt contributions to the Superannuation fund.
National's always short sighted, looking for short term gains & pass the costs on to future governments, never look long term, thats why the hospitals, roads, water infrastructure needs so much money spent on it now.
Remember they increased the allowable weight limits for freight trucks & look at the damage that's caused to our road network.
Zero increase in hospital budgets for several years, despite big immigration & buildings desperately needing maintenance.
And so on...
Luxon says that healthcare is wasteful spending though and he won’t increase it by more than CPI (despite all the new migrants he wants to bring in).
It’s all going towards income tax cuts.
A person working full time on the new minimum wage and a few weekends in overtime, now gets into the 30% bracket. The Government constantly increasing minimum wages on businesses, that then run right through to all other employees of the business and from there into prices of goods & services, while not adjusting tax brackets. This is just a clever (some say dishonest) increase in the tax take paid for by all businesses and consumers.
