KEITH LOCKE ... has failed, and to declare an extension of the party zone is completely unacceptable. A very interesting article in a Victoria University paper has just come out, I think yesterday or today. It is by Dean Knight, a lecturer there. He said that the Minister ...

DAVID SHEARER ... Prime Minister. He even said he would oppose interest-free loans with every bone in his body. He also suggested at Victoria University as recently as last year that there might be some changes—that the interest-free provision might, in fact, be in some ...

Hon SHANE JONES ... leader of the Green Party about his enthusiasm for a capital gains tax. Earlier this year the Tax Working Group out of Victoria University did not embrace a capital gains tax model. It is certainly not something that we have been trumpeting loudly on this ...

GARETH HUGHES ... why the Green Party is opposed to this bill. I first started studying in 2000, towards a Bachelor of Arts degree at Victoria University, and of course, because my parents are not wealthy, I had to take out a student loan. Ever since then, every couple of ...

Hon MARYAN STREET ... to tertiary education policy is looked at. We are not any longer in the days that we were in when I first went to Victoria University, some considerable time ago. I remember queuing to pay 10 percent of the course fees in the student union building at ...
