Green Party: Alternative Budget Initiatives Audio
May 18, 2011 - Tomorrow is Budget day...and it's looking rather bleak. John Key has signalled that this Budget is, and
can only be about reining in spending through budget cuts. Lots of them. Some of them severe. But is this the only way
forward from here?
The Green Party have put together a package of alternative Budget initiatives this year — initiatives that seek to raise
some revenue to address the record deficit and do so in a way that actually transforms the economy in the process.
Dr Russel Norman explains a smart green alternative Budget that strives to deliver prosperity while protecting the
environment at the same time: http://www.greens.org.nz/audio
