    The nerds must be happy as getting a benefit of $300m so they have fun taking their ideas to the world - worst kind of corporate welfare

    If the ideas are so brilliant you’d think that private investors would be queuing up to get rich

    Very disappointing that NZ'ers health wellbeing is undermined by Labour. Pharmac funding not keeping up with cost of living inflation, let alone drug inflation. Trains more important than people.

    Not so sure BaaBaa. I think the opposite. There is nothing in this Budget for anyone except those that are already hardcore Labour voters. A typical employed working/middle class , swinging voter family gets nothing.
    Hopefully now we can move on from this none event Budget and see a resignation or a vote of no confidence in the disgraceful bully that is Parliament's Speaker.

    Regarding the $1.9b vote for mental health services, did the Inquiry which reported recently find out why NZ's mental health is worse than other comparable Western countries? Shouldn't we know this to decide where to spend the money?

    If the parliament speaker is a bully, Bridges is a monster.Most childish , venomish, dictatorial, ugly , bitter person who thinks he's the showman prosecutor in acourtroom and out for a bonus if he can convict an innocent party. He has displayed the worst ina politician and is an embarrassment to his country and party.Digging a deeper hole .

    But they are delivering: They are destroying jobs (mining and oil exploration), they increased income taxes, they increased the fuel tax, RUC is going up again next month and the country is tormented by more strikes (justice, teachers, nurses, doctors) than ever before. The unions want to get their cut for supporting Labour ...

    Strikes and taxes - this is what Labour stands for. Didn't Winston realise this when he elected them on behalf of the NZ electorate? Maybe time to show Winston the red card ...
