@DavidCunliffeMP name me another OECD country that didn't increase is debt during the GFC, & one that borrowed less than NZ
-

-
Germany Iceland Israel Norway Sweden Switzerland & Turkey: hv less debt now than 2008. Finland & Hungary: less increase than NZ

you asked for countries that had borrowed less than NZ. You got them. redefining your terms now isn't edifying

the fact is when u compare NZ's performance across the board during the GFC we have performed far better than most

There's that earthquake thingy too.
-
yep.Anyone who try's to claim that Labour, who build govt around spending, would have borrowed less is

-
They have also omitted from their story which government raised low-income family benefits.
