NZ: No change in Pacific policy under National
Updated
New Zealand's opposition National Party is unlikely to drastically change the country's policy towards the Pacific is it wins next year's election, according to it's leader, John Key. Mr Key has just returned from a visit to Samoa, where the majority of New Zealand's Pacific islands people come from. The National Party are currently polling well ahead of the ruling Labour Party, and if that translates into votes, it could even govern without the support of smaller parties. John Key says if he does win the election in 2008, the only real change in Pacific policy is likely to be that the region gets proportionally more of New Zealand's aid budget.
