In the end, it was the predictability which became the reality with National winning another term in office.

Now that the election is done and dusted I look forward to seeing how business fares and what – if anything – will change.

Consider this:

*Jobs need to be created.

*The minimum wage urgently needs to increase.

*Will National see advantages in the Green’s environmental plans as a way of making a better way of life for New Zealanders?

*Where do our manufacturing sectors gain further traction in their search for overseas markets? And what are the changes that need to be made to support and enhance their efforts?

*Selling the assets – who will be better off?
