Urgent Criticism of Budget Sparks Mascot Nostalgia Debate

UPDATE: The recent budget announcement has ignited fierce criticism from opposition parties, particularly targeting the government’s VAT cut for the hospitality sector. Labour’s Ged Nash has drawn attention to the potential benefits for major fast food franchises like McDonald’s, resurrecting the infamous mascot The Hamburglar in a sharp critique.

In his remarks, Nash pointed out that this budget is a financial windfall for “burger barons and big builders,” emphasizing the disparity it creates for everyday workers.
