will give him momentum ahead of 2023 election
A political expert has heaped praise on Chris Hipkins for ditching a raft of unpopular Government policies on Wednesday, saying the new Prime Minister has listened to the public.
Hipkins on Wednesday unveiled the first set of changes to the Government's policy agenda, including axing the TVNZ-RNZ merger, halting work on the social insurance scheme this term, putting the torch to the planned biofuels mandate and throwing hate speech legislation to the Law Commission.
The changes were an acknowledgement the Government has been trying to do "too much too fast", Hipkins said.
"This is the first and most significant set of decisions that reprioritises the Government agenda and sets out our new direction. It will help to provide greater bandwidth and resources for where [the] focus is needed most - the cost of living."
