From a 6-year Health Minister who only acknowledged the problem this month, to a Prime Minister who opposes the call for a full-scale review of the mental health system, the Government has been floundering on this life and death issue. Gluckman has been rolled out in an attempt to show – seven weeks out from the election – that some high-powered thinking is going into the issue.
The government has partially backed down from some changes to immigration policy that would have reduced the flow of cheap labour to New Zealand employers. The changes maintain the essence of the policy which was to keep access to cheap labour from abroad, and keep that labour vulnerable and easily exploited when here.
We are so used to partisan politics, it can be a bit uncomfortable to deal with a political party that doesn’t fit into the usual boxes. People tend to pick a side, a tribe – left or right, red or blue – and they want to know if The Opportunities Party (TOP) are part of their tribe too.
