Press Release: ACT New Zealand
Wednesday 22 May 2002
ACT leader Richard Prebble has
poured scorn on the Greens' so-called walkout of
Parliament today.
"The Greens had already used all
their speaking time," Mr Prebble said.
"The Green
MPs have not foregone their pay or perks, so in effect
they've gone on strike on full pay.
"If they hadn't
issued a press statement, we wouldn't have noticed, " Mr
Prebble said.
