I wonder aloud whether the Government and the Prime Minister, having had by any measure a very good week, has at last got the message that some action, as opposed to yak, might be what the punter wants a bit more of?
There's been several solid health changes; more doctors already here to be parked at GP's, more nurses and scripts via tech when we want them. I mean, the idea that getting a script on the net at an hour that suits you really shouldn’t be a thing, but it does show you how backward we have become.
They are all practical, sensible, and politically beneficial.
The exam concerns from principals that wanted less hard work and more free credits? That was dismissed as the minister hammers home the concept of hard work and not giving up.
The big one was Adrian Orr gone. It was a sacking without a sacking and a result the Government wanted and needed.
Then there was Phil Goff gone. Was it thinly veiled? Maybe.
It was a stupid comment, if you didn’t catch up on it, and a Commissioner's job is to represent the Government, and never more so than when you are dealing with a new, unpredictable America and walking a tight rope in the Pacific between China and the US.
A couple of other minor ones - the Prime Minister's marmite sandwich line on this show. It was a nod to middle New Zealand who are fed up with elite moaners and elite media and their pile on over an issue that, in a convulsing world, is really embarrassing now.
Secondly, and more importantly, health again with bowel cancer. The screening age has been has been dropped from 60-years-old to 58-years old. The money comes from the segregated Māori bowel screening programme.
The message is this is one country, with one rule for everyone. Bowel cancer is not a race issue, it’s a health issue.
So by the time you put all that together on a Friday morning you have collected up a fairly substantial seven days, and the vast majority of it is positive, on the right side of the voter and gives the very clear indication that a week's worth of actual “doing” is vastly more appealing and productive than a week worth of announcing, or defending, or scrapping, or time wasting.
Keep it up and the polls will show it's what the majority of people actually voted for.

Whilst all around them lose their minds, Luxon and his team stick to the plan.
Luxon knew it will take time to fix the mess left by the Labour hierarchy's self enrichment program. Luxon and his team have been working hard to reestablish the conditions required for nz to prosper.
Expect the good news to keep rolling in next year, whilst Stuff, Cam Slater, and Rodney Hide fade away
If national got rid of the waitangi tribunal they would be guaranteed a win in the next election. Stop being so nice Mr Luxon. You won't get a single vote from the lefties, so stand up for the people who voted you in! The quote that evil reigns when good men do nothing is true. Look at Mr Trump. He does not suffer fools. Kiwis of the the silent majority want a leader like that also.
Something else that might give this govt. or the party's that make it up, a better deal is that come the next election, at least part of the M.S.M. won't be so vehemently critical of every word the govt. says or does, but it goes without saying, you can only talk about all the good things you have done if you have actually done some.
