John talks about the growth agenda driving the National-led government, with particular focus on a new announcement about broadband in rural communities, and the mining debate, which he says can be resolved in a way that enhances economic growth without risking the environment. He then talks about the cyclone in Fiji and the Solomons and New Zealand's part in the recovery there before moving on to the science awards he recently made and the important place of science in the economy. He also talks about the decision to award $300,000 to support the All Whites (and what's really involved in that grant).

Mr Key Everything your national government has done up until this mining proposal has been very good, however I am deeply disturbed that Gerry Brownlee plans to open up a section of Great Barrier Island for Mining. Please reconsider this area. Not only is it an amazing, remote and unspoiled island, but it is a very scared place which no one wants to see destroyed. As a person who walked in the very spot you plan to mine, I ask you to visit the island yourself and then reconsider if you really want to destroy something so special.
