I only rise to say with what great regret I heard the hon. and learned Gentleman opposite impart what has been completely absent from the Debates hitherto, and that is any question of party capital or party heat. Tributes have been paid on all sides of this House to New Zealand as a people and a race, irrespective of the particular party affiliations which may happen to be in force at the time, and I only want to say that, to those of us on this side of the House, the mere fact that New Zealand has a Government that is of a complexion to which, in this country, we should be opposed, makes no difference whatsoever to the affection and respect which we hold for that country.
