In 1832, US Senator William L Marcy, effectively, said: "To the victor lies the spoils." And so it is with this Government, and I congratulate them both for the privilege they have and the direct responsibility they now carry. I am of a view that the spoils of the victory are not Cabinet positions or ministerial warrants, but rather the spoils are actually the hopes and aspirations of New Zealanders. It is this that we as an Opposition will hold the Government to account for. In this reply, I will highlight points of accountability across the children and health portfolios, I will present the Government's 10-day scorecard on transparency, and, finally, I will show how we have hit the ground running and sharpened an accountability tool in a way that I don't think this Government has fully appreciated.
