Reporter REBECCA KING hit the streets of Masterton to ask the public what they hope the change of government will do for the region.
Terri Wenham
“If it’s for the Wairarapa, it should be for all of New Zealand, which should be the state of our health system, the basics – roading, education, jobs, and poverty.”
Roslyn Brodie
“Do something about poverty here.”
Ange Watson
“Equity of health services that are equal to what everyone else in the country has access to, and I especially hope they work on recruiting specialists and GPs in our area.”
Garry Nielsen
“A far better hospital service with attention to staffing and obviously funding.”
Brendan Cunningham
“I haven’t really thought about it, but hopefully the economy improves and we get onto a more even, more certain footing.”
Payten Teriini
“Definitely more jobs, because it’s kind of hard to find one right now. My criteria is anything, and right now I can’t find a job that suits anything.”
