to the Minister of Finance

Has he seen any reports about public confidence in the Government’s economic programme?

EnglishHon BILL ENGLISH (Minister of Finance) Link to this

Yes, I have. Public confidence in the Government’s economic programme is partly reflected by confidence in the Government itself. A TV3 poll released last night showed that support for the Government has somewhat surprisingly increased to 60 percent, compared with 27 percent support for the Labour Party.

Better than the 22 percent that you got!

I remind the member that I know what that is like, and he will not like it.

What factors does the Minister consider have contributed to this public support for the Government?

EnglishHon BILL ENGLISH Link to this

The polls, of course, are only a partial and passing measure of support. The more important support has been from those many businesses, organisations, and individuals whom we speak to every day, who are very pleased to see the Government moving decisively and taking meaningful action to assist people to deal with the economic downturn.
