Budget 2018: What can we expect?

From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 17 May 2018

Thursday is Budget Day, and Finance Minister Grant Robertson will deliver the first Labour Budget in nearly a decade. Health, education and housing will feature large but the government has made significant promises across a number of areas - some of those part of its deals with New Zealand First and the Greens. The government has also pledged to fix "the nine years of neglect" under National, which Mr Robertson claims resulted in underfunded public services - claims the previous Government hotly disputes. RNZ political editor Jane Patterson and economics correspondent Patrick Omeara join us about what we might expect.
