The Finance Minister is confident the Government can meet all nine of their proposed targets by 2030.

These include shortening emergency department stays and waits for planned care, increasing school attendance, reducing violent crime, and having fewer people on the Jobseeker Benefit.

Minister Nicola Willis says they've picked nine things that will really make a difference to the lives of New Zealanders.

"There's fewer young criminals, violent crime is down, we've got fewer people on a benefit, kids are attending school more, they're achieving more, there's fewer people living in motels and we've got our emissions down, and they'll say- that's a Government that's done its job."
