Government decisions do make a difference. Initiatives like Working for Families, under Helen Clark's Government, made life better. I remember in my last year of high school, we had what felt like the first proper Christmas in years, with a roast meal and presents for everyone—a welcome change from the Christmas where I cooked my family fish fingers for dinner. The reforms we made last term through our Families Package will have equally benefited people's lives, but there is still more work to do.
