SIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Thank you, Madam Speaker, for the chance to be able to take a speech on this backwards Budget, which is leading New Zealanders backwards. And I just want to make a quick comment on what I just heard from the member opposite—Shanan Halbert—where he said, proudly, that 60 percent of the people in his electorate are now dependent on the State. That's 60 percent of the people who are now dependent upon the State. I find that obnoxious. I've been here listening to members of Parliament from the Labour Party get up, one after the other, and proudly boast about how many people in their electorates are now dependent on the State. Well, I am proud to be a member of the National Party, which actually believes that people should keep more of what they earn, rather than having their money taken off them by a Government addicted to spending, and then shuffled through the bureaucracy and then having money dished back to make them feel happy. That is called socialism—that is called socialism. We are living under a socialist experiment by this Government, which is simply wanting to make more and more New Zealanders dependent upon the Sate.
