Hon DAVID PARKER (Associate Minister of Finance): Thank you, Madam Chair. As to the member's question as to whether we considered a tax cut of $2,000 per person instead of this amount, no, we didn't because we knew that would, if there was responsible fiscal management at the same time, require very substantial cuts in public services. We would also note that we don't think most New Zealanders agree with that as a policy prescription, because they know full well that the Government has had to draw down on taxes and some increased debt in order to fund the support needed to get people through COVID and to have the out turns that we have had, which is a return to growth to pre-COVID levels, and very, very low unemployment. So New Zealanders back what we have done and they know that that came at a cost and that the finances of the Government need to be restored and couldn't be restored without substantial cuts in services, if that sort of policy was pursued.
