The Salvation Army generally supports the strategy outlined in the 2017 Budget Policy Statement.

As we understand this strategy it is based on the Government’s finances being managed responsibly and perhaps even moderately conservatively to ensure that public debt remains within prudent limits and that Government’s share of the economy remains within boundaries which have been broadly accepted by New Zealanders. The 2017 Budget Policy Statement appears to do this and for this reason we support it in general.
