    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. While I completely agree with the Leader of the Majority Party, I was just consulting with Hon. Tonui. I wish there was a proviso to specify that the proposed exemption is just for public schools because as the Leader of the Majority Party said, that provision is likely to be abused by private schools, who charge our children exorbitant school fees. They can afford these buses even if their costs were to increase by 20 per cent. Therefore, without that kind of proviso to specify that the exemption is for buses being bought directly by parents of public schools and the NGCDF for use by public schools, and that if you were to sell such a bus to someone else, like it happens with military vehicles, one has to pay the full VAT chargeable, this amendment is not acceptable. In the absence of such a proviso, I oppose."
