Did you know National deputy leader Nicola Willis was in Hamilton for an economic forum?
National would pull immigration levers to get the country moving, she told the crowd.
Her keynote charted the orthodoxy of National Party policy: tax relief, ensuring innovation is fostered and that “discipline” could be restored to Government spending – albeit with topical issues of climate change, truancy and infrastructure investment front and centre.
The Reserve Bank also featured in her kōrero, and on Friday it'll be governor Adrian Orr's turn to speak.

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?
A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.
Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.
