Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Do you know what? For the last 18 months or so, we've been having a bit of a discussion about spending. My party, the Opposition party, has been very critical of the amount of unnecessary spending that this Government has embarked on that has led to domestic inflation—I think it's 6.3 percent, with overall inflation of 7.3 percent—and the constant refrain we hear from the Minister of Finance and his Government is "What would the National Party cut?". Well, we could start with the $327 million waste of money that this merger has embarked upon. In fact, there are many, many more. As the previous finance spokesperson, I think that the last count I had at the end of last year was about $12 billion of unnecessary spending, and this wasn't even part of it. So there are plenty of reasons why this bill should not go ahead—I can think of 327 million of them.
