What can they achieve in opposition? ... They can struggle for a bit of airtime and a few gains for their people, or they can sit around the table and continue to get the genuine gains they got last time.
My personal view is that trading among farmers is not needed now. The redemption risk has been overplayed. But John Key and some of his mates seem determined to get shares from Fonterra and any other tradeable commodities onto the stock exchange and in my view that's a real danger for the entire New Zea...
They can struggle for a bit of airtime and a few gains for their people, or they can sit around the table and continue to get the genuine gains they got last time.
Prime Minister John Key yesterday totally rejected any suggestion that the National Party lacks a mandate to partially sell off state-owned assets.
I'm interested in sitting down with the co-leaders of the Maori Party to talk to them about where we can take the relationship, what sort of gains we can get and what tangible changes we might achieve
John Key is looking at a big Cabinet reshuffle in his own ranks as well as accommodating prospective support partners Act, United Future and the Maori Party with ministerial roles.
We'll have those discussions inside the room. We'll go from there
I was really interested in the election issues and I really wanted to back John Key. I was behind what the party stood for
We'll be talking about the election and Mr Dunne's role
But I think we fought a good campaign. I thought we put out there the issues that effectively dominated the agenda, and some of those are those hard calls which John Key doesn't want to face up to, but if we want superannuation to be sustainable, then we do have to look at lifting the age
I tell you what I think will happen when we work through that programme, it will be very popular with New Zealanders
I rang John Key and I wished him well for the next three years because we are all New Zealanders and want to see our country do well
That worked very well last time ... They would be committed to their warrants but they can disagree with the government outside of that.
John Key wants me to vote for him.
They didn't agree with everything that we proposed to do, and they didn't vote for some of it, but they voted for confidence and supply. So that's the sort of relationship we'd be looking to form, but those discussions have to take place
While on their way to Auckland the flight attendant responded to some light hearted banter amongst the passengers and at the end of her PA announcement reminded everyone to vote on the weekend and mentioned John Key wanted her to vote for him.
The government will be focused on building a more competitive economy, with less debt, more jobs, and higher incomes
It was John Key, Dad. He said he wanted us to vote for a national park on Saturday, or something.
We're here to do a job and that's to deliver a good opportunity for New Zealanders.
To borrow Phil Goff's language, the Epsom tea party was supposed to be about John Key breathing life back into Act. This fiasco instead pumped oxygen into another political cadaver - New Zealand First.
New Zealand has voted for a brighter future, and there will be a brighter future
Maybe Mr Key [Prime Minister John Key] would like to answer his favourite question. Where's the money.
We’ve got the numbers to put that program through
