SIMON COURT (ACT): Thank you, Madam Chair. To the Minister: for context, there's an analysis published by Thomas Coughlan from New Zealand Media and Entertainment, who has reported that Treasury thinks that the Government would have to deliver one of the biggest ever Budget spends next year just to stand still with inflation pressures, which are likely to add to the cost of the Government's programmes by $3.5 billion next year. Now, that's Treasury advice, which I'm sure the Minister has seen. So that raises a real dilemma for this Government and for a future Government in having committed to such extraordinary growth in spending, $6 billion this year on top of spending in previous years.
