PM Luxon answers Kiwi's pre-Budget questions | TVNZ Breakfast

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon joined Breakfast ahead of Budget Day. Luxon told Breakfast that Kiwis would have to wait for Budget Day for the details but said it would focus on stopping the government's wasteful spending, moving resources to the frontline, by investing in health, education and law and order. He assured the budget would follow through with tax relief to lower-middle-income New Zealanders.
Later Luxon answered Kiwi's questions about the budget and discussed funding between the government and Hato Hone St John.
