At least some aspects of the economy have been doing better than they are getting credit for, says the Prime Minister in this video journal. To review the data he refers to, visit http://beehive.govt.nz/release/lowest+inflation+six+years+good+families and pay special attention to the table comparing price and wage changes over comparable periods between Labour and National Governments. Following that he talks briefly about the upcoming Labour Day weekend - he'll be in Christchurch for that at the Band Together Concert ( http://www.christchurchmusic.org.nz/bandtogether ) - and his upcoming trips to Viet Nam (East Asia Summit) and Japan (APEC).
