We've had to make hard decisions and we've had to make them quickly, and we had to try and get them right. It is one of the strongest things of this coalition Government and Cabinet: as well as having professional, thoughtful advice from our departments and advisers, we have looked to each other, to our experiences, and at the people around us. For New Zealand First, this is about constantly asking about the practical impact of our decisions. What does this mean for children and parents and teachers and baristas and hairdressers and bus drivers and seniors? How will we explain this to our mums and dads and to our children? What will it mean for them?
