More homes, safer families on ministers’ Budget wish lists

With the na­tion­al bud­get just days away, three Gov­ern­ment min­is­ters have out­lined dif­fer­ent pri­or­i­ties, with Hous­ing Min­is­ter David Lee hop­ing for enough mon­ey to build more homes, Phillip Alexan­der push­ing to meet the Gov­ern­ment's hous­ing tar­get, and Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der putting the pro­tec­tion of lives ahead of his min­istry's fi­nan­cial al­lo­ca­tion.

The three spoke to the me­dia dur­ing an HDC key dis­tri­b­u­tion cer­e­mo­ny at The Canopies at Cau­ra yes­ter­day.

Lee spoke of the the coun­try's fi­nan­cial chal­lenges but said he hoped his min­istry would re­ceive what it re­quest­ed.
