Opposition Leader Mark Golding says he is not impressed by the objectives outlined for the new financial year by Governor General Sir Patrick Allen during his throne speech this morning.

 

Sir Patrick gave the speech during the ceremonial opening of parliament.

 

Among the flagship projects to be advanced, is the new parliament building.
