The Minister of Education in our session earlier made the point that—spun it in a rather strange way, I thought—our relative slump from New Zealand was "probably a good thing" because it shows that other countries are improving their performance, and maybe we should be celebrating their success rather than bemoaning our demise. And I suppose the question that I have for the Minister is: does he, on reflection, think perhaps that wasn't a wise comment? And indeed, when it comes to the ability of New Zealanders to thrive in the modern world, to compete internationally, and to be able to reach their fullest expression—whether in work or in their general lives—in terms of understanding the arts and literacy and all the wonders that come with education, surely our ambitions should be to retain and regain the very high levels of relative education performance that we have delivered in the past and can in the future, so that New Zealanders are well equipped to thrive globally, as we have in so many endeavours in so many ways. And so I just give the Minister an opportunity to recalibrate that, and raise his ambition and the Government's ambition.
