NewstalkZB political editor Barry Soper says the 2019 Budget will emphasise mental health.
He says Robertson is making it harder for himself - because targets in the Budget will be used as a yardstick for the 2020 Budget.
Soper says the Budget will be a hard task, but that Robertson believes GPD is not enough to provide wellbeing for New Zealanders.
However, he says all government budgets should be for the people's wellbeing.
