Ten Reasons Why Don Brash Needs ACT
ACT New Zealand Finance Spokesman Rodney Hide today said that he was very disappointed that his Bill to allow shops to trade on Easter Sunday was narrowly defeated.
"My Bill has been bouncing around Parliament for five years but tonight was killed off by 60 votes to 58.
"Ten National MPs voted against businesses themselves deciding whether or not to open on Easter Sunday.
"That's ten reasons why Don Brash needs ACT in government," Mr Hide said.
