Actually, there wasn't a lot of good news, despite the gilding of the lily by the Minister in this statement, because things were already going sour on the Government's watch. GDP growth was going down. Job creation was going down. Bear in mind that this Government inherited an economy that was creating 10,000 jobs per month, and, by sleight of hand, they managed to reduce that by 60 percent. Not in a recession and not in tough economic times, like the previous National Government had to deal with, but, actually, the very best of times, when commodity prices were high and growing, when inflation was low, and when the conditions for growth and supporting the very families that they describe their Budgets as about—being wellbeing—and they've managed to reverse that trend.
