2. CRAIG FOSS (National—Tukituki) to the Minister for Infrastructure: What measures is the Government taking to improve New Zealands infrastructure?
Hon BILL ENGLISH (Minister for Infrastructure) : As part of the Governments plan for the road to recovery we have outlined a $7.5 billion 5-year plan to improve telecommunications, schools, and hospitals. We have also lifted spending on State highways by $1 billion over the next 3 years, are investing record sums in upgrading the national electricity grid, and have a plan to roll out ultra-fast broadband.
Craig Foss: Why is the Government focused on improving New Zealands infrastructure?
Hon BILL ENGLISH: After 10 years of mismanagement of the economy it is very important that we increase our productivity. Better roads, more secure electricity, and faster broadband will help us to increase productivity and grow our exports.
Craig Foss: How does increased infrastructure investment support jobs?
Hon BILL ENGLISH: The Governments increased investment in productive infrastructure has two benefits for jobs. In the short term it supports thousands of jobs as these projects get up and running, and in the long term the benefits from a more productive economy will support sustainable jobs in the export sector. Unfortunately, many people who are losing their jobs now are finding out that their jobs were based on the previous Governments reckless spending and too much borrowing.
