Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: As has been stated many times in this House, the two figures are not directly comparable. What we do know is that on a consistent measure of unemployment that has been in place since 1987, we have the lowest rate that we have ever had. What I did hear in this House yesterday was the Leader of the Opposition, whose only solution I could make out from his speech was that he wanted unemployment to rise. That's the old National Party, and it's still here.
