DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. Many countries have faced the challenge of rebuilding from destruction. There are two basic strategies that they have tried to take. One is the path down which this Government is going. It's trying to plan an economy from the Beehive, and I have no doubt that the MPs on the Government benches are sincere. They really do believe they can get New Zealanders back to work by borrowing, spending, and investing money better than the people who earned it. The other path is an outward-looking recovery led by private sector job growth, and the record of history is crystal clear. Countries that look inward for jobs and growth find neither. Those that replace the private plans of five million individual New Zealanders with their own blunt plan funnelled through the bureaucracy of Wellington make us poorer, not richer.
