Hon DAVID BENNETT (National): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I just want to, first, start with a little introduction for members of the public as to what happened to the Labour Party in the last three weeks. Now, they would have seen the polls and they would have known that they were in big trouble, and the squeezed middle cost of living argument was starting to take residence in the New Zealand public. Now, they would had to have rewritten their Budget in the last two weeks to actually try to achieve something to deal with that issue.
