What assurances can she give, as the leader of the current coalition of Labour, United Future, and New Zealand First, that the Government commands a majority in this House?
Rt Hon HELEN CLARK (Prime Minister) Link to this
There is not such a coalition; there is a Government arrangement, put together after the last election, that rests on two confidence and supply agreements and on an abstention agreement with the Green Party. That is why the Government continues to enjoy the confidence of the House.
