People were excited for Jacinda because she promised change. After 3 years of no substantial change Labour has now decided it has done enough and that it has no real ambition. I get why this appeals to centrists, but Labour loyalist voters should be demanding policy.

it's clear the legacy Jacinda wants is a fundamental change to how we do politics A kinder politics she believes will ultimately lead to better policies & more inclusive govt It may not be radical policy today, but it's creating the environment for sustained permanent change
