More savings on the horizon as prep begins for Budget 2025. 

This year's Budget came into effect just this month, but Acting Prime Minister David Seymour has confirmed the Government has already started work on the next.  

Seymour says $3 billion a year is needed just to stand still.  

He told Mike Hosking the Government doesn't know what other surprises will come along. 

He says, for example, New Zealand's allies want us to spend more on defence, and he personally agrees we should.
