障眼法数字大拼凑，玩隐身预算假盈利 .jpg)
国家党政府在今年的财政预算中玩障眼法，可是他们玩的不光是隐藏了数字并且隐藏了千千万万普通百姓五年以来所面临的实际问题。
国家党用障眼法加拼凑数字终于拼出一个今年财政盈利的表象。这盈利从何而来呢？ACC加收$1.2亿，而交通预算的$3.75亿却被巧妙地变成了无息贷款；基督城重建，政府应该分担的基础建设拨款当中砍掉$5.67亿——于是便出现了今年财政预算中盈利表象。
一个政府的财政预算不应该仅仅只是着重所谓盈利的表象，更重要的是拿出实际的家底，来帮助千千万万的民众。在John Key 国家党政府领导之下，新西兰的贫富分化越来越大，今年的预算对此熟视无睹。
医疗卫生的预算拨款又被削减。今年政府的财政开支从$1,440亿调整为$1,470亿。引用财政部的数字和运算模型，医疗卫生口的预算在扣除通胀及考虑人口增长因素之后实际被削减达2.3%。
多数新西兰人的收入寥寥无几。去年46%的民众工资没涨。全国平均工资倒是上涨1.6%但是通货膨胀却去掉了1.5%。过多年轻一代处于低薪阶层而且从事的是没有保障的服务行业。经济增长其益处却没有给普通百姓的带来任何收益，今年的财政预算对这一问题毫无正面作用。
房屋拥有率向来被当作社会公平与否的最直接参数，而今年新西兰人的拥有住房率达50年新低并持续下降。本年度财政预算对此熟视无睹。
今年政府的预算当中用在养老金的经费要大过用在孩子们教育上的经费。本年度财政预算对这个问题熟视无睹。
国家党政府对如何提高普通百姓的生活水准毫无见地和远见。他们所关心的只是“内阁俱乐部”能吸引多少人、敛多少财。
工党财政事务发言人David Parker指出，与国家党政府最明显的区别是，工党的经济发展一揽子计划将着眼点集中在革新、投资和能够创造高收入及更有保障的产业方面。我们关于《储备银行法》修订、森林及制造业方面的技术调整，已经得到了全国范围广泛支持。
工党制定了一系列革新及改革的计划，以确保新西兰是一个工作有保障、家庭得到支持和人们能安居乐业的美好国家。
这次预算使国家党和工党泾渭分明：国家党没主意，工党有远见。

Spokesperson for Finance
15 May 2014 MEDIA STATEMENT
National’s fudge-it budget doesn’t fix it
National’s fudge-it budget not only fudges the numbers, it glosses over the real problems Kiwi families have been facing for five years, Labour’s Finance spokesperson David Parker says.
“National has fudged the figures and achieved surplus through overcharging New Zealanders $120 million for ACC, pretending $375 million in transport spending is an interest free loan and cutting $567 million out of the Crown’s half share of local infrastructure from the Canterbury rebuild, despite the Council saying costs are increasing.
“A budget is about more than a surplus – it’s about people. John Key’s budget will do little to fix the widening gaps that have built up under his Government.
“Health spending is going backwards under National. This coming year total Crown spending goes from $14.4 billion to $14.7 billion. Using the Treasury figures and model, health faces a 2.3 per cent cut in real terms this year taking inflation and demographic changes into account.
“Most New Zealanders don’t earn enough; 46% of New Zealanders got no rise in their pay rate last year. Average pay rates went up 1.6% when inflation was 1.5%. Too many young people are in low paid and insecure service work. The benefits of growth are not getting through to working New Zealanders. This budget does not fix that
“Home ownership rates – one of the clearest indicators of inequality – are the lowest in 50 years and dropping. This budget does not fix that.
“This year the Government will spend more on super than educating our children. This budget does not fix that.
“National doesn’t have the ideas or the vision to improve the lives of New Zealanders. They concentrate on members of the Cabinet Club.
“In contrast Labour’s Economic Upgrade package that focusses on innovation, investment and industry will create secure jobs that pay higher wages. Already our Reserve Bank, forestry and manufacturing upgrades have met with widespread support.
“Labour has the innovative, fresh ideas to ensure New Zealand is a place of secure work, supported families and healthy homes
“The choice is clear: no ideas from National or new ideas from Labour,” David Parker says.
