Socialism's not a word that I use. I say 'social democracy' because I don't think the government needs to own all the means of production.
I do not believe it is all about the leader. I think it's about the team, too. So we have one mission; we have one team; we are working to victory.
I have never commented on a caucus issue or a shadow Cabinet issue, and I'm not about to start now.
I support a constitutional conversation, as the Labour Party does, which will allow New Zealanders to evolve a more mature and stable constitutional form, but that's not something that I, as Labour Party, would want to impose, either on the party or on the public.
I want to get down to the nuts and bolts of what is actually going to change to lift New Zealand's economic performance.
