A new year. A new decade. What will they deliver? It is a reasonable question and one reason why, at the end of last year, we asked our long-standing and New Zealand’s leading political columnist, Colin James, to have an extended, and thankfully revealing, discussion with Prime Minister John Key.
The point is, what Key thinks and does this year will, all things being equal, more profoundly impact the fortunes, stability and lives of this country’s economy, society and population than the thoughts and actions of any of our other leaders... | |
