Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Earlier this month, the International Monetary Fund released its latest report on New Zealand, praising the economic response from the Government in the past year. They specifically commented on the size and scope of our economic support and how it helped avert a much steeper decline in economic activity and employment. In New Zealand, our unemployment rate is currently below 5 percent, and a peak of only 5.3 percent today. It will bump around a bit, but it will be well below the near 10-plus percent levels we were being told about. I can also tell the House today that the number of people on a main benefit is continuing to drop. Our figures out today show 20,244 fewer people are on a main benefit compared to the start of the year, and in just the last week of numbers, 2,388 people left the jobseeker support payment to go into work.
