As of January 2010, this website is no longer being kept uptodate. It contains NZ Parliament debates from November 2005 to December 2009. We may resurrect the site in 2011 for the General Election.

TheyWorkForYou.co.nz is volunteer run, and has been in operation since November 2006. We developed it entirely with free and open source software, as a hint to the public sector that they should be adopting and promoting free and open source software themselves (despite what foreign corporations masquerading as a NZ ICT industry may say to the contrary).

Appropriation (Parliamentary Expenditure Validation) Bill

This Appropriation Bill validates the costs and expenses incurred and the public money spent under Vote Parliamentary Service for the 1989/90 to 2006/07 financial years, up to the day on which this Bill comes into force, that may have been outside the scope or purpose of the relevant appropriation.
