| Message | The Treasury lowered the taxes for the poor, and we are cutting the budget because the previous administration has done nothing to try to stabilise the massive deficit! And regarding the Right Honourable Gentlemans comment about more being spent on tourism that industry, I suggest you look at the numbers again. The treasury spends 6 times more on Trade and Industry. |
