Budget 2022: Grant Robertson reveals Budget cover featuring photo he took himself

  • 17/05/2022

The Finance Minister has revealed the front cover of Budget 22.

The document, to be released on Thursday, is titled Wellbeing Budget 2022: A Secure Future. It features a photo on the front cover of the Hokianga Harbour in Northland, which Grant Robertson took himself. 

"My alternative career as a photographer is burgeoning… I took it at Easter time. If you are coming into Hokianga, there is a fantastic little rest area where you can step out of your vehicle and take a photo. A beautiful part of New Zealand."

In 2019, the front cover of the Budget featured a stock image of a woman and her daughter smiling. Days later, it was revealed the pair had moved to Australia as the cost of living had got too high in New Zealand. 

Watch Robertson reveal the cover above.
