For the companies that robbed and pocketed the wage subsidy, National is coming for that money, according to Collins.
“Well, we may have to change a law,” he said, then described the government as “naive” about the way it implemented the wage subsidy scheme.
There are some things they both want, including being in power longer. Ardern and Collins think government terms should be extended from three to four years.
The couple also agreed on the need to eradicate period poverty, with fully subsidized health products for all women and girls.
“Yes, actually, I think we should,” Ardern said.
“I have no problem agreeing in terms of schools,” Collins said.
All schools also have gender neutral toilets for transgender children under the National and Labor framework.
“All children should be able to go to the bathroom where they feel comfortable,” Ardern said.
“Yeah, it’s just a bath, for crying out loud,” Collins said.
And no matter who is in power, Parliament receives a full-blown statue of Kate Sheppard, who led the movement for women’s suffrage in New Zealand.
“Of course we should,” Collins said.
“Yes, why not,” Ardern said.
ACT leader David Seymour could be Collins’ deputy prime minister, and apparently a good one, but Ardern doesn’t seem too keen on the idea.
“In my opinion, it would be great,” Collins said.
“Jeepers,” Ardern said.
If Collins is prime minister, he confirmed: “I don’t like communism.”
She is also coveting the role of cover girl, after Gower asked her if she would seriously say no so she could appear on the cover of Vogue like Ardern once did.
“Oh no, I’d absolutely like to be there, no problem with that,” Collins said, as the crowd laughed and cheered.
Leaders have laid out the options for New Zealanders before October 17.
“The world is changing; unfortunately Judith Collins doesn’t want to change with it,” Ardern said.
“If Jacinda Ardern is going to use my age against me, I’m happy to use my experience,” Collins replied.
Now it’s up to you to decide.
