National Party seems to started campaigning, highlights so far:

 

Drill baby, drill.  Because... why?  It's okay - we know why.
Flog an extra couple of years work out of the elderly - but that's OK, apparently, because Bridges would have to wait an extra couple of years too.
"We'll eliminate two old regulations for every new one we introduce" I wonder where they got that idea?  No - I don't need to wonder - almost verbatim.
Vague promises of tax cuts.
90 day trials reintroduced, despite no evidence at all that they improved employment rates.

SJB:

 

As it stands I won't be voting for anybody.

 

 

I can understand that, but really - don't do it.

 

At least with your party vote, pick the party - any party - that has a central policy issue that does matter to you .

 

As they say, democracy is terrible - but better than any of the alternatives. One fault is that democracy allows a party (or coalition) with less than a majority of eligible voters to claim they have a "mandate" to implement unpopular policy.
