Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH (National): Thank you, Mr Speaker. We won't be agreeing to the proposal and we won't be agreeing to this piece of legislation, the Electoral Amendment Bill. This is a piece of legislation that sets out to change the rules around the elections in regard to funding of political parties. Generally, in a good state of affairs, you would expect that there would be some measure of agreement across the House around the rules of the game, and that the Government of the day would seek to enjoy some sort of consensus over these issues. But that certainly is not the approach of this Government or of that Minister, Kiritapu Allan, who has decided instead to ram through some changes in the face of clear opposition from the National Party and from this side of the House.
