I'm watching to see if this Govt is willing to back down on any policy because of voter backlash. I haven't noticed it on anything more than toast for mums and there have been no shortage of outrages in the past year. I feel for the locals who have been blindsided last minute. More dense housing close to jobs and Unis is once again the solution.

Yep - I agree. Given the National Party remain relatively unpopular for a first term government - there is not a lot of political capital available for them to burn through. The only question is who will blink first - National or their coalition partners if they sense they could win some votes off National.
