As a treat today I have lined up a favourite in the music slot. I love Turnaround, I cannot hear it too often, and I feel in need of a treat when I make myself listen to the Prime Minister the way I did this morning.
He too, has favourites that he likes to play over and over again.
Well, look, what I was doing last night was what I've always done with in my previous life as well, is to bring the senior leadership team together so they actually hear from the leader as to exactly where we're coming from. And so what I wanted to talk about was you know, the why, what, and how of government? And therefore what are the expectations we have of them? And again, you know, what I underscored was New Zealand desperately needs a turnaround. We are focused on outcomes and results and delivery. There is a lot of a culture of wasteful spending that's emerged in Wellington that needs to be really rooted out. And this is going to be an ongoing thematic for us.
An ongoing thematic was a new one on me. I haven't heard him elevate that one before.
