Maori Party Te Ururoa Flavell We will make the Government more accountable and transparent through the unbundling of public money spent on tangata whenua; and a report shall be produced on the outcomes achieved across the social policy sector with the funds allocated for tangata whenua
We want to see more community services and less government bureaucracy for the outcome of whanau restoration
National Party of New Zealand Gerry Brownlee

Cap the size of the core bureaucracy in the first term of government, and ensure that priority is given to delivering frontline services that directly benefit New Zealanders
Limit new spending in its first Budget to the priorities we have identified in the election campaign and nondiscretionary pressures that cannot be deferred or absorbed
Require departmental chief executives to undertake a line-by-line review expenditure with the goal of identifying areas where savings can be made
Establish a Cabinet Expenditure Control Committee to oversee this process and to consider chief executives' reports on potential savings

New Zealand First Rt Hon Winston Peters

There should be an end to the aimless restructuring of government services, a removal of unnecessary rules and regulations based on misguided political correctness, and a return to a public service ethic within the bureaucracy.
Spending will be directed to the provision of high quality education and health professionals, to improving free access to improved public education and health services, and to developing a life style that values our people, our environment, and that recognises our uniqueness
