Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Well, I am aware of an alarmist and erroneous report that we are carrying too much debt in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and that our debt-servicing costs are set to overwhelm the Budget. I would like to reassure the House and particularly members on the other side that this is not the case. Under this Government, our net debt is well below what was forecast when COVID struck last year and, indeed, below many of the countries we compare ourselves with in the OECD. Under the careful stewardship of this Government, core Crown finance costs have fallen as a percentage of GDP from 1.5 percent, on average, between 2011 and 2017, to 1 percent from 2018 to 2021, and, in fact, the Treasury forecast that this would fall even further over the next four years. Our debt-servicing costs are set to remain lower than countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia.
