Hon BARBARA EDMONDS to the Minister of Finance: Is her economic plan the reason the economy is smaller now than it was when she took office; if not, why not? Dr HAMISH CAMPBELL to the Minister of Health: What recent announcements has he made on the Government's health targets? TAKUTA FERRIS to the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations: Does he agree with the former Minister who introduced the Marine and Coastal Area Act that his proposed amendments "do not restore the original intention of Parliament. They undermine them"; if not, why not? Hon WILLOW-JEAN PRIME to the Minister of Education: Does teachers, principals, support staff, and Ministry of Education specialist staff all going on strike show that she is "growing and strengthening the education workforce"; if so, how? GREG FLEMING to the Minister of Education: What recent announcement has she made regarding school infrastructure? Hon GINNY ANDERSEN to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What is the estimated reduction, if any, in the number of people receiving jobseeker support because of the proposed parental income test for 18- and 19-year-olds?
