Introduction
Good afternoon.
You may have noticed there was a slight distraction that happened in a flurry in Wellington earlier this week.
As already stated - after days of speculation and guesswork, it ultimately boiled down to quote Shakespeare 'much ado about nothing'.
That is not to brush-off the seriousness of the issue for National internally, but to highlight the fact that we as a collective government are less than three months away from a pivotal election and our main focus must be the people of New Zealand and our country's future.
Throughout this week's distraction, kiwis woke up each day and went to work, some working two or three jobs, still seriously worried about the next pay cheque, or the next rates bill, or the next power and food bill, or how to afford the basics for their family.
It is our collective responsibility as the parties of government to ensure we never lose sight of why we are here and who are the masters in all of this - the people of New Zealand.
