Budget Day has been and gone and left much of my electorate shaking their head at the money scramble. Few will begrudge support for those who need it most but there is absolutely no plan to recover our economy – in fact Finance Minister Grant Robertson proudly outlined his expectation that by 2025 we will be almost $200 billion in debt, more than three times as much as last March.
The Bay of Plenty electorate is home to 24,330 constituents aged over 50 – that is more than half of the electorate. Yet this year’s Budget provided no meaningful assistance to those people who quietly get through life with determination… tradies, self-employed, local workers, the elderly, the disabled, the working poor who chose not to have children due to lack of a permanent home.

We’re now more than halfway through the consultation period for Tauranga City Council’s draft 2021-31 long-term plan and your Commissioners are enjoying the opportunity to talk to people around the city about our issues and priorities.
Most of the feedback we’re receiving shows that people have realistic expectations. They know that the city’s infrastructure problems and lack of community facilities can’t be addressed without significant investment, and they realise that will mean increases in rates – it’s just a matter of how much and how the costs will be shared.
We’re looking forward to receiving lots of considered submissions on the proposed work programme in the draft plan, and also suggestions about how the programme should be paid for. The Council is working closely with central Government to get more funding for new housing areas and the roads, water and wastewater systems they require.
