So we've come back to the Parliament after the recess of three weeks, where some of us have been out working hard in our electorates, visiting businesses, talking to employers, talking to employees, and talking to people and listening to their worries, their concerns, and their issues with this current Government. And what do we find on the eve of our return to Parliament? A very telling poll. I've not ever seen in recent times so many scared faces sitting on the Government benches. Most of that back bench will be gone by the time the next election rolls around, because they have lost connectivity with middle New Zealand and they know it. There's nothing like a bad poll result and a case of the political seasonal sniffles to give a party a bit of a wake-up call, and this Labour Government seems to have not yet heard the clarion call of the voters of New Zealand that their time is on short fuse.
