The Prime Minister also talks about securing our economic future and, over the course of the pandemic, the Government has invested $8.8 billion in their health response. Over the past two years, we have invested $22.9 billion in saving jobs and businesses, and we've always said that a strong health response is our best economic policy. New Zealand has weathered the COVID-19 disruption better than many of our key trading partners. New Zealand's economy grew by 4.9 percent over the last year and outperformed most of the OECD, led by our significant investment in keeping and creating jobs which the leader of the National Party disagrees with. We have record low unemployment, which the Leader of the Opposition party disagrees with. What's the alternative, to lift unemployment? To have people out of work? That is the most preposterous idea in the history of this Parliament.
