Questions to Ministers Hon BARBARA EDMONDS to the Minister of Finance: Does she stand by her statement, "The rising number of visitors to our tax calculator reflects Kiwis' keen interest in understanding how the Budget will personally benefit them through the savings we've achieved and the tax relief we're implementing"; if so, how many of the 513,000 people that have used the calculator are unique individuals? KAHURANGI CARTER to the Minister for Children: What does she say to Tupua Urlich, a survivor of abuse in State care, who said of the proposal to repeal section 7AA from the Oranga Tamariki Act, "We know time and time again they place children with strangers who go on to physically, sexually and mentally abuse these children." and "Whanau means more than mum, and dad and uncles - we have a wider hapu and iwi. There is no way the state can turn around and say there is no one safe enough to look after these children"? RYAN HAMILTON to the Minister of Finance: When was the last time personal income tax rates or thresholds were adjusted?
