Key unfazed by Labour's potential filibuster

By: Newstalk ZB staff | Latest Political News | Friday June 15 2012 16:22

 

The Prime Minister's brushing off opposition threats to delay his Government's partial assets sales legislation.

Parliament narrowly passed the controversial Bill at its second reading yesterday.

Now Labour's signalled a filibuster could be on the cards when it comes back for its committee stage debate.

John Key says that's to be expected.

"There's nothing new with Labour wasting parliament's time, they do that all of the time, but at the end of the day there's a process we'll go through. We've always promised that we wouldn't take the legislation through under urgency. We won't, we'll use the normal house time and let's see how things go."
