Now, these results weren't a given. When COVID first emerged, we faced sobering forecasts. Treasury predicted 10 percent of people would be unemployed. That would have meant hundreds of thousands of people looking for work, and the financial scarring that would bring. Now, today's statistics speak for themselves, numbers that it is clear the Leader of the Opposition has not read. Our growth rates are higher than pre-COVID, and, in this Budget, forecast to reach 4.2 percent over the next financial year. Now, compare that to the aftermath of the global financial crisis (GFC), where rates were less than half that, at around 2 percent. Debt sits at 16.9 percent, and it's forecast to reach 15 percent in 2026. We've had a bigger economic knock from the pandemic but managed with a smaller debt impact than the GFC. We will return to surplus in the 2024-25 financial year, a total of five years after COVID hit; compare that to the GFC, where it took six.
