There will be new jobs. They will be outlined by other Ministers.

Investing, through NewERA, in the assets we need for the future and being willing to sell older assets from the past will, even in a financially strained economy, create funds to drive new employment and infrastructures.

They are worthwhile initiatives that are responding to the challenge we face.
