Budget preview

"The tax debate that matters is about redistribution and the proportion of our economy that is transferred through the tax system to reduce inequality or at least reduce poverty. Given the double-whammy pledges not to introduce new taxes and also to run surpluses, the Government's only options to reduce inequality are to reprioritise spending, use its capital rather than its "grocery" budget, and to be bold in reforming social spending."

Josie's New Zealand Herald preview of the 2018 budget is here.

Welcoming new aid spending

"We were really at the bottom of the OECD table for aid and now we're heading up to 0.28 per cent of global national income and that's a great step in the right direction."

Josie on TV One welcomes new government investment in aid and development.
