NICOLA WILLIS (National): I wish to raise the issue of unappropriated expenditure—in fact, unlawful expenditure; in the words of the Auditor-General, the role of the New Zealand Treasury and Ministers' attitudes to using taxpayer funds without the authority of Parliament—and in doing so I want to note that the matter I am speaking about relates to expenditure that occurred this year, but I am raising it in this debate at the direction of the Speaker, who said that this was the appropriate forum in which to raise these matters.
