Supplied video obtained Thursday, May 14, 2020, of New Zealand's Finance Minister Grant Robertson speaking during his Budget Statement at parliament in Wellington. Robertson says Budget 2020 represents the next steps in New Zealand's recovery and rebuild. "There are few times in your life when you get to hit the reset button," he says. "It's a privilege that many countries do not have right now as they still struggle to get the virus under control. "This budget takes the responsible path of investing to respond, recover and rebuild. "We will rebuild this country with hard work, innovation, creativity, compassion and courage. The minister also says there are still tough times ahead. "But we have made it this far in fighting COVID-19 by drawing every bit of who we are as New Zealanders. It is just the end of the beginning." (AAP VIDEO/Supplied/New Zealand Parliament)
