Tizard follows Tanczos over Metrowater
Tizard follows Tanczos - New Zealanders need only
obey laws that they agree

Finance Spokesman Rodney Hide today said that Minister for
Auckland Issues
Judith Tizard was dead wrong to be
attacking Metrowater and calling them thugs
simply
because they are trying to get everyone to pay their share
of the cost
of providing water.
"We now have a Minister
following Nandor Tanczos' lead and saying that you
only
need obey the laws you agree with.
"This is
crazy stuff. A lot of people don't agree with the
government's move
to up tax rates but Judith Tizard would
have no sympathy for taxpayers refusing
to pay
it.
"Prime Minister Helen Clark must reign Judith Tizard
in and make it plain that
the new Government does indeed
stand for the rule of law," said Rodney
Hide.
