Key Sets Priorities For Incoming Ministers
November 13th, 2008
One of the first tasks John Key is setting his new Ministers is a line-by-line review of Govt spending. This will be entrusted to a razor gang whose aim will to get a bigger bang for the buck, and eliminate wasteful programmes. The Govt will also be seeking to lift the performance of state enterprises and Crown entities. They will be told to be more innovative and commercial. Another priority will be to get its infrastructure programme into gear as quickly as possible, with its broadband pledge top of the list. National also has set itself a huge task to revamp the Emissions Trading Scheme, revise the Resource Management Act, and seek greater security of supply in the electricity system by dropping Labour’s 10-year moratorium on thermal generation.
