    "She said the Labour Government was “making it so hard” for family businesses,
    and she felt she was “constantly drowning” with taxes and costs. “It can't
    keep going like this.”

    But she had an equally blunt assessment of Luxon: “It's coming time when people need to know you. What I've heard is, ‘We want a change,
    but we don’t know who you are’.”

    This is the feeling which is holding people back from a decided vote. Not a good thing for an election. National maybe undecided which plan to use for
    the election, but the time is coming when some colours need to be nailed to
    the mast.

    Now those words apply for Labour, as in "but we don’t know who you are’.”

    Another paragraph of significance from the article

    "I've been out doing these tours because you actually get a chance to
    bypass media and actually talk straight to people, and it's really awesome,” Luxon said to cafe owner Cam, while surrounded by reporters and cameras the National Party invited."

    Good on Luxon for cutting out the middle person. What an idea, go and talk
    to the people, the voters.

    Also noted that only reporters invited by National at the cafe. So it does
    seem that National are of the view that some of the MSM might be biased.

    Or whether National will be any better than Labour. This is where the
    election campaign is crucial because it is focused entirely on each
    political parties leadership.

    This is the feeling which is holding people back from a decided vote. Not a >good thing for an election. National maybe undecided which plan to use for >the election, but the time is coming when some colours need to be nailed to >the mast.

    They already have. The water reforms legislation will be repealed.
    Various policies have been announced by National but none of them are vote-changers so far it seems.

    Now those words apply for Labour, as in "but we dont know who you are.

    A time-honoured approach, hopefully working again.
