Quote:
Today - 8 November - marks five years since this National-led Government was first elected.
We've seen the country through some tough times.
When we came into office, the country was in recession, the worst global financial crisis for generations had just struck, and we were facing years of government deficits and ever-increasing debt.
The day after we were elected, we got to work to turn this around, and we haven't stopped since.
I'm proud of our achievements.
Together with the rest of New Zealand, the Government has persevered even in the face of some big challenges along the way.
Under National, the country is in good shape. Our economy is among the fastest-growing in the developed world. Our hospitals are performing more operations every year. Our schools are lifting achievement for young people. And recorded crime is at its lowest rate for 33 years.
We want to take New Zealanders with us as we build on our momentum towards the brighter future you and your family deserve.... etc etc
Barf!
