Finance Bill 2003 [ Certified Money Bill ] : Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

The Senator was quite gracious in what he said. I knew the Labour Party would not approve of it. I have noted that my former classmate, now Opposition spokesperson for the Labour Party, Deputy Burton, has not majored in this subject. I know it was a major issue for Senator McDowell who believes strongly about this area. I am aware his views would not be shared universally among the rest of the Labour Party. I pointed out when this started many years ago that for as long as I could remember the Labour Party activists always wanted some change in this area. It is still the goal of the Government and the social partners.
