Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH (National): Mr Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity. Well, we've had another week of drama in New Zealand. The cost of living crisis rages on, where Kiwis are struggling to afford their everyday needs, wages are going up 2.6 percent but the cost of living is going up 6 percent at least—it's much more than that in many other areas when people visit the supermarket. We've seen the return of the scourge of inflation in this country, such as we haven't seen for 30 years, and this Government—this Labour Government—has lost control of the economy and lost control of New Zealanders' living standards because it hasn't been able to discipline its spending.
