Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: I certainly agree that the way that inflation has been playing out over the course of this year does bear the scrutiny that the Reserve Bank is giving it. The member knows that monetary policy is the main tool by which any administration looks after inflation. From a fiscal policy point of view, we stand by the responses we made to COVID and we stand by the fact that as we move forward from here, Government expenditure as a percentage of GDP will return to the long-run average of 30 percent. We had to do what we had to do during COVID, and the member and members opposite asked us to do that and, on occasion, asked us to do significantly more than that.
