What kind of party is janet having

And unless things change radically, nothing will halt that unless they want to make the radical changes that they have to make. That was generally the thesis of the column that you wrote for Stuff earlier this year, which was quite a strange thing to do for a National Party person. Yeah, it was. It was out of total frustration. She demands complete loyalty and focus from her caucus, which is what any leader should do. And then she, herself personally, doesn't display that same focus on what the real issues are.

That's part of the problem of her leadership, I believe, that she is consumed. As I said in the piece, she prizes loyalty above all else. But then her ugly stepsister, paranoia, steps in, and she has these almost paranoid storms. Completely unacceptable. The fact that she is still working her bag of tricks with the likes of Cameron Slater shows us that she's learnt nothing since And you thought about it and declined. Then over the weekend, you texted me to say that you were ready to talk.

What prompted that shift? I think we're at a moment now where the harm that's being inflicted is pretty high. We haven't had a poll result yet, but there is no doubt in my mind that the electorate will look at this and see it for what it is, which is a cheap shot. Whatever you think of Siouxsie Wiles is neither here nor there. Empathy will be always extended to Siouxsie because of this attack by a political leader. Why aren't we talking about all the other things that New Zealanders are really, really worried about right now?

Like out of control housing prices, homelessness, the level of poverty within this country, her ideas about how she intends to change that and holding the government to account when frankly, the government hasn't actually had a very good track record at all in any of those areas. Cameron Slater acknowledged in the aftermath of Collins' extraordinary statements on Friday that he's still in regular contact with her.

To what extent are these problems a function of her just looking in the wrong places, or getting bad advice? I wouldn't dare claim that she was getting bad advice. I don't know that, but what I do know is the only advice she takes is her own. So she is very much the master of her own destiny, and she will make decisions based solely on who she has spoken to and those that she feels the most loyal to. So I don't know the nature of her relationship with those within that media team.

And I wouldn't hazard a guess. She very much follows her own star when it comes to advice. And is she getting advice from the likes of Slater? You've got to ask yourself that. Is Slater giving her the media advice that she believes is going to make her the next prime minister of New Zealand?

Chances of that are very low. What is your sense of both that particular confrontation and of the way that she is handling herself in media situations more generally? There are several different faces to Judith that come out. But I have to say that when it comes to that interview with Indira, she's been there before, she's got past form.

There was a time when she spoke very abruptly to Katie Bradford from 1 News as well. So clearly she doesn't like females coming up against her.

Whereas would she accept a male doing the same thing to her? Because I've seen John Campbell give her equally as hard time, and she tends to keep her demeanour much calmer.

Medicaid expansion will save lives. In particular, increased access to addiction treatment and counseling are critical as we confront the opioid epidemic across our state. This is a familiar tactic; as Attorney General, the very first battle I fought with Governor LePage was his attempt to kick thousands of low-income children off Medicaid.

And I will work with everyone to respect and maintain the cultural identity and the right to self-governance of the thousands of Native Americans in this state. As Attorney General, it has been my job to defend the state in litigation — that's the oath I took — and I don't always get to choose the cases that come in front of my office. But the role of Governor is very different from that of the Attorney General. As such, my first priority will be to improve communication and trust between the four Tribes, the state, and local governments, so that together, we can improve the lives, opportunities and wellbeing of all our people.

I have stood with Tribes across the country, including in Maine, to oppose former EPA Director Scott Pruitt's attempt to end regulations on mercury and airborne toxins — which are the biggest threat to Maine's lakes and rivers. I have strongly opposed proposals to drill for oil and gas off our shores, because of the devastation any oil spill would bring to our fisheries, to our tourism industry and to sacred Tribal lands at Pleasant Point.

Supreme Court. I have expanded the Civil Rights Program in the Attorney General's Office, where we have partnered with nearly schools and trained more than 1, students last year alone. What I will do as Governor I want state government to be a partner with Tribal governments, not an enemy of them. There is so much we can accomplish together — economic development, expansion of broadband, ecotourism, better health care and educational opportunity for all — when we engage in communication, rather than litigation.

I will appoint people to the Maine Indian Tribal State Commission who will carry out its mission, which has too long been neglected. I will work to enhance the Commission's authority and responsibilities, making that body a forum for real communication and real problem solving and dispute resolution.

I will appoint judges to state courts who fully understand the Indian Child Welfare Act, and who are familiar with Tribal Courts and customs and with the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation report. I will partner with the Tribal Nations to create jobs, bring broadband to the reservations; and work on expanding ecotourism and new industries. I will work to remove once and for all, offensive names for teams, schools and mascots that have no place in our modern-day society.

We have a lot to do together, whether it's fighting the opiate epidemic, preserving our clean air and water, or providing vital health care to all Mainers and to Tribal members dealing with health challenges at a much higher rate than the general population.
