My guess is that like all election promises, they'll be quietly forgotten.

Interesting fact: despite Labour's intended water tax, their highest increase in votes was in rural/regional areas, while the liberals of Auckland grew the blue vote.

He's been offered it, but whether he takes it or not is up in the air. I expect he will, but he's also saying he has a range of Cabinet positions open, so may stick with that.

He was pretty useful at Foreign Affairs in the past, and after many years of the fat slug, Gerry Brownlee, our international friends would be glad to see him.
