Of necessity, the longstanding constitutional conventions associated with
the consequences of the old electoral system are evolving to respond to the
challenges of MMP. The fact that we have enjoyed stable minority
government for the last six years, and can look forward to a further three, is
a tribute to the adaptability of our constitution.
Honourable Members,
My government is deeply conscious of the honour bestowed on it in taking
office again. Its mission is to lead the economic and social development
of our proud, independent South Pacific nation. It seeks to work alongside
a broad cross section of New Zealanders to achieve the best results for
New Zealand.
I wish you well in your deliberations. You have been charged by your fellow
New Zealanders with great responsibilities. I am sure you will do your best to
fulfil them.
