‘The voter outrage at the heart of the Tea Party movement has been sparked by federal government spending that has risen to 25 percent of GDP. Their goal is to cut it back to 20 percent of GDP. Here in New Zealand , core government spending under National now stands at a record 36 percent of GDP – up from 29 percent in 2004 – and the restrictions on our freedom and liberty continue unabated. Whether New Zealanders are angry enough about the size and intrusiveness of government to spawn a grassroots revolt against the political establishment remains to be seen! ‘ Muriel Newman
