Fran O’Sullivan’s, ahem, admiring column on Steven Joyce’s new status as a super minister
This snippet is not what I’d characterise as good news if our nation is to move beyond the flawed ‘thinking’ that has caused so much damage already:
It is also important that business concentrates on New Zealand’s international competitiveness and takes a stronger leadership role. Business leadership has become too fragmented and too much of an echo chamber.
So it is exciting to note that the NZ Business Roundtable and the New Zealand Institute are in active merger talks designed to launch a new organisation on April 1.

So jobs, jobs, jobs, might not actually be the answer we're looking for
It's probably the best fit for messaging purposes though. "Economic development" and suchlike are hard to get most people interested in.
Labour needs to deploy Cunliffee across a similarly broad and influential policy span and make him the Opposition to Joyce.
