That actually brings us to another one of the mythologies that the Opposition has been peddling today, and that is that this debt is some massive financial or fiscal burden that future generations are going to take on. To that effect, we only have to look at the reporting by the likes of, for example, Bernard Hickey on just how it has been since the 1980s to the 1990s, where we have seen a pulling forward of funding in what should be the infrastructure for future generations, in turn meaning that my generation and the generations that come after me are carrying that debt already in terms of the need to invest in our public transport, in our classrooms, and in, of course, our whānau across Aotearoa New Zealand.
