DAVID SEYMOUR (Leader—ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker, and thank you for that introduction to this debate. It is right and proper that New Zealand has in its Parliament each year a debate on the rates of tax—how much of people's money does this Parliament allow that Government to take out of people's income? The ACT Party—the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers in its full name—says that that the Government is taking too much tax out of hard-working families' incomes and, in particular, it is taking highly progressive taxation that means that some people pay too much tax and many pay none at all, or very little.
