Damn right. It would be far better than the current government's locking the cheque book in the bottom drawer with the economy nose diving as a result. The arse is falling out of the retail, manufacturing and social services sectors with hundreds of Kiwi's heading overseas daily at present while the country's infrastructure is starved for maintenance and upgrades by Nicky No Boats and her cronies. Next wake up call will be our defaulting on emissions targets with the export restrictions, and now potentially legal repercussions, from our neighbours and major trading partners.

Turning our economic circumstances around is going to take a totally fresh approach and definitely won't happen overnight, or in a single government term.

Indeed - & it would be a thing of wonder, if all our politicians could manage to take a long term view rather than just their term, & what they & their party can get out of it.

Labour was in the process of long term initiatives, but then the current coalition gained power and threw most of the toys out of the cot. Luxon and co are full of high expectations but their lack of any actual progress on most fronts speaks far more than their rhetoric.

High expectations, but total ignorance and as much use as tits on a bull.
