Dairy, semi retired, turn up on Farm and make a nuisance of myself when not Mountain biking.

Chris Hipkins just stood up in the House and delivered a speech he'd written before he'd even seen the Budget. Think about that. He didn't read it, he didn't consider a single line of it, he just dusted off the attack lines his team cooked up days ago and read them out word for word.

That tells you everything you need to know about Chris Hipkins. He isn't interested in what's actually good for New Zealand, he's interested in opposing for opposition's sake.

The Budget National delivered today is all about securing New Zealand's future.

It means more surgeries, more cancer treatments and shorter wait times for patients who've been waiting too long. It means more police on the beat, more prison officers keeping communities safe, and more criminals being held to account. And it means Kiwi kids getting a world-class education, with the basics taught brilliantly and real pathways into the trades and industries that will power our economy.

Hipkins opposed every one of those boosts to frontline services before he'd even read the Budget. He'd rather play politics than back the things that will actually make a difference to New Zealanders.

And he had nothing to offer in return. Nothing on how Labour would grow the economy, nothing on how they'd pay for their planned wasteful spending, nothing for the small business owners, tradies, and families doing it tough. Just spin, slogans, and the same recycled lines Kiwis have heard a hundred times before.

Not once did he mention his capital gains tax. He knows Kiwis don't want their houses taxed, their KiwiSavers taxed, or their farms taxed.

This is the same Chris Hipkins who delivered 30-year high inflation, soaring interest rates, and tens of thousands of households and businesses going backwards. He had his chance and he failed.

He's opposing every good idea and offering none of his own.

Only National is fixing the basics and building the future, so you and your family can get ahead.

@NZNationalParty @JudithCollinsKC Thank you, national much appreciated from those who have cancer.

[NZ National Party @NZNationalParty]

Cancer services are being expanded nationwide, with 14 new infusion centres and 14 expanded facilities, so more Kiwis can access care closer to home.

@kiwiwayne2 What a loser.

[Clare K @AucklandIsland]

Ten years underfunded. Another consequence of Nats allowing heavier trucks, ignoring climate change and can kicking. Pothole Party should be their nickname.

@bartjevandeven $7.90

The fact Willie chose to attack me instead of explaining what value the the Ministry of Māori Development adds just shows why we should get rid of it and save $71 million. I feel sorry for its staff. The Minister can’t even explain what value they add.

@wiredone2_one @TumaiTawhiti @Megan_Woods The most incompetent government we’ve ever had in power never worked for a dollar in their lives.
