Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: I don't agree with the member's assertion in her question. In fact, up until this year, wage growth has been outstripping inflation. After the global financial crisis, there were several periods where wage growth was being outstripped by inflation. That is not unusual when we see economic shocks of the type that we are experiencing at the moment. But the Treasury forecasts indicate that, by next year, we will be back into the position where wage growth will be running ahead of inflation.
