United Future Heading For A Bleak Past

Media Release
12 September 2003

United Future Heading For A Bleak Past

“United Future has sold out its dwindling supporters as a result of placing its parliamentary position ahead of its principles,” said New Zealand First MP Peter Brown.

“While United Future claims to support family and Christian values they have been in the vanguard of behavioural modification programmes that have seen the passage of the Prostitution Reform Bill and the promotion of internet gaming.

“Their blind support of Labour has cost United Future its credibility and won their supporters nothing other than the sop of a Family Commission where the definition of family is likely to offend the last of the party’s supporters,” said Mr. Brown.

“The tragedy is that the people of New Zealand are having anti family policies foisted on them by a minority government with the support of a rag tag bag of politicians who are out of their depth and unable to act according to their avowed principles.
