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).

Most recent appearances in parliament

If this MP has contributed more than once to a debate, only one speech is shown.

Roading—Wellington - Levin Road (16 Dec 2009)

Question: "Does his confirmation that if there is to be a toll for Transmission Gully it will be around $3 mean that the Government will look at a public-private partnership for the construction of that road?"

Adjournment - Sittings of the House (16 Dec 2009)

Speech: "It is always a pleasure to follow on from my friend the chief Government whip, who in his maiden speech admitted that he had been an active member of Toastmasters. After that performance, I hope he does that for free."

Public Assets—Privatisation (16 Dec 2009)

Question: "When the Minister of Finance said that Kordia and New Zealand Post were “not well-managed” and “struggling to keep up with the pace”, was he sending the signal that the only conclusion a National Government review can possibly arrive at is to sell them both off?"

Roading—Wellington - Levin Road (15 Dec 2009)

Question: "What level of tolling for Transmission Gully is the Government prepared to entertain? Is it likely to exceed $5 per trip?"

Electricity Industry Bill - First Reading (15 Dec 2009)
