    I don't recall any other Government of either colour acting so fast to
    repeal legislation that it said it would.
    Neither do I.
    Next year this will
    continue.

    With the government elected in 1984, lead by David Lange, the changes
    made were reformative in that economic policy was reset, but this did
    not involve repealing legislation if I recall correctly.

    So far I am impressed with the speed and commitment, as always I am sure we will all keep an eye on things and I hope that all people who truly care about this country will give the new team a chance. It would be nice to see the petty sniping and silliness from the those of a left wing persuasion stop but that would be out of character for those for whom politics is a main driver.

    This observation has occurred to many people from my observation. Ususally
    it is talk and promises with everything then fading to grey within 6 months.

    It seems to me that the situation left by the previous Government has
    required this response. There is a mess all over the place in many areas and first task is to dispose of the mess so that the building can continue

    The changes were about a change starting from what was existing, not as it
    was after 6 years of idealogly and powering off down the wrong road.
