Hon SIMON BRIDGES (National—Tauranga): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I want to empathise with the local member of Parliament for Wellington Central about the disruption that he spoke of in a heartfelt way there. But I do want to switch tack on what I think are a bunch of issues that are actually more important for New Zealanders overall—and certainly more important for young New Zealanders and our tomorrow—because today I asked the Minister of Finance, in this House, about public spending in this country. What we established was, I think, an incredibly avaricious Government; a Government that wants to spend and spend and spend. We established quite clearly, on the first supplementary question that I asked him—that is the first question after the primary one—that this Government is the second-highest spending Government in the Western World after the United States; second-biggest during the pandemic. It has spent and spent and spent. It is an outlier in that regard, far and away, as a proportion of GDP, spending higher than most other Western countries.
