Vote: Bills β Appropriation (2004/05 Estimates) Bill
π³οΈ That all the words after βThatβ be omitted and the following inserted: βthis House has no confidence in the Labour-led Government because it has squandered New Zealandβs greatest ever opportunity to invest in policies which would restore this country to the levels of prosperity enjoyed by Australians; because it has chosen for New Zealanders policies which promote dependence rather than independence; and because after five years of over-taxing hard-working New Zealanders, it has embarked on a programme of cynically-timed election year giveaways to many of those same New Zealanders, funded by their own taxes.β
