Kiwi politicians are returning to work for 2021, and it s about bloody time, according to straight-talking North Otago farmer Jane Smith. I ve been interested to see there s no sign of life yet in Wellington after – what is it – a two-and-a-half-month break? Smith told The Country s Jamie Mackay.
According to Smith s rough calculations, there wasn t enough time left in the term for the Government to actually get something that resembles a policy-in-action done.
Smith believed this year would bring unforeseen consequences for the Government, due to inaction in 2020, saying a number of things - if not most things - weren t achieved, or even started.
