Larry Williams Drive

National has come out swinging, after the Government has voted against a select committee inquiry into banking. Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister, Duncan Webb, accused the Opposition of planning a once over lightly review. But National's Finance spokesperson, Nicola Willis, says it's ridiculous to suggest Parliament doing its job is somehow untoward. "It's our job as members of Parliament to use the powers available to us, including summoning witnesses and acquiring information to get answers to the questions New Zealanders are asking." New Zealand banks made a record 7.18 billion dollars last year. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
