“As I have said in the budget, if you go to tappoos and look towards Mark Street and Cumming street, the buildings are really run down, most of the buildings they are not being painted, so we are trying to uplift the look of town and cities and various other places not in just municipalities.”

The National Budget debate will begin in parliament next Monday.
