When small incremental change is not enough: Gordon Campbell on Government policies (pn657.)

 

From the NZ Listener, Nov-Dec., 2020

In urging caution about radical change, the PM talks about making the changes "stick" and taking the people with her. 

Questioning this degree of caution, Gordon Campbell** asks what more does she want with the stunning majority government now holds? 

"The voters have given Labour sweeping powers, what on earth is it proposing to do with them?

 So far, not much," he says. "Labour has been more willing to announce the radical policies it won’t pursue be pursuing – "there will be no wealth tax of any sort, no meaningful capital gains tax on Ardern’s watch than announce what major changes it does intend to make."
