Michael Cullen outlines the role of government
Finance Minister Dr Michael Cullen today outlined his views on the role of government during a speech at Bell Gully in Auckland.
Speaking on the fiscal and legislative programme of the current Labour-Progressive Government, Dr Cullen commented upon four areas of government activity:
- A fiscal strategy characterised by transparency and a commitment to
long-term stability;
- An active role in building and maintaining infrastructure;
- A pragmatic role as shareholder in key industries; and
- A role in redistributing resources within the community.
