Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: I'm sure a lot of New Zealanders would like it if they were paying a little less tax, but what they know is that the taxes that we all collectively pay is what pays for the teachers in our schools and it's what pays for the nurses in our hospitals, and New Zealanders know that after nine years of his party running down New Zealand, we have to spend the money on our public services. So, you know, I'm not saying that any New Zealander who's out there thinking "Wouldn't it be great to have a tax cut?" is wrong; what I'm saying is it's going to take a long time to make up for nine years of neglect by his party.
