What is often very revealing in debates like this one is what is said but also what is not said by people when they take to the podium. What we heard from our Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, and our Minister of Finance, Grant Robertson, in this Budget debate was a clear plan and a vision for how we build economic security now and in the future for all New Zealanders—not just a privileged few, but for all New Zealanders. We heard about how we are going to build on the strong and inclusive economy that we have as we move forward with our economic recovery, and let's be very clear about the facts here. We can cut through the spin; we can cut through the speeches. We can go straight to the facts: at the end of the biggest economic crisis in a hundred years, 3.2 percent unemployment, jobs for New Zealanders, and unemployment down across all population groups, including our Māori and Pasifika communities, who, every time there has been an economic crisis in the past, have been crunched. Well, this Government has stood by all of our communities and has held up that rate: one of the lowest unemployment rates in the world at the end of two years of COVID, one of the strongest economic growth rates in the world, and one of the lowest Government debt rates in the world.
