BARBARA KURIGER (National—Taranaki - King Country): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I would like to acknowledge the last Minister's acknowledgment of rural New Zealand, and that's where the acknowledgment is going to stop, because Labour has an insatiable appetite for amalgamation. We've seen the centralised and controlled agenda with planning and resourcing management, with vocational education and training, and with healthcare in terms of centralising or planning to centralise the DHBs. We're now seeing it with the three waters reform, which the Government must dump.
