The facts are that New Zealand has positioned itself to survive whatever it is that would come our way, and here comes that day. The facts are, at a time when GDP was stagnating across the globe, New Zealand survived that period well; our growth has been tracking comparatively to those of our comparable other countries, higher than most others, where we are sitting at around 2.8 percent. Our debt when we took over the Treasury benches, we were sitting up at around 22.4 percent. Well, under the steady management of this side of the House, that has tracked downwards—we're sitting at around about 19.5 percent. Comparable to other nations, other nations in the OECD, we are well placed to survive today's storm.
