The politician added that he and his government had made “tough but fair” decisions as he continued: “I wouldn’t swap a single day in opposition for a day in power. It’s much better to be in power to be able to do things.”

“There are farmers who wouldn’t say it was fair. There are parents of primary school children who wouldn’t say that it was fair.”
However, many viewers were disappointed that the presenters didn’t ask him some more burning questions.It didn’t take long before they flooded to X – formerly known as Twitter – to share their disappointment online.
