Labour Leader Phil Goff held his weekly press briefing on Monday afternoon.
Rugby World Cup:
• "I think the Welsh were
cheated, but it was a very good match of Rugby."
•
Transport failures in Auckland: "The buck's got to stop with
the Government." Prime Minister needs to bring parties
together and sort it out rather than dodging
responsibility.
Christchurch:
• Mounting frustration
over loss of equity, reinsure problem and land and
construction costs.
• Discussion of need to make land
available.
The EC's proposed financial transactions
tax:
• "Let's have a look and see how they get
along."
• Will not be part of Labour's election policy
this time.
PM's confirmation New Zealander Mark Taylor is
Al Quaeda suspect:
• "I usually don't talk about issues
[the SIS] brief me on.
• "There will in due course be a
time" to review Terrorism Suppression Act.
• On removal
of Taylor's passport: people are innocent until proven
guilty and Taylor has not been charged with any offence.
Hasn't looked at the details of the case to see whether this
is
justified.
