This week Bornwyn has her first weekly chat with Minister Tracey Martin. The two spoke about some policies arising from the party's campaign launch over the weekend. These included introducing one thousand frontline police officers, and a modern version of the Universal Family Benefit. They also spoke about New Zealand First as an "insurance against extremism in government" and some criticisms of that. 

The interview also contains a discussion of the Sexual Violence Legislation Bill and why the party wants the Bill to be delayed for more discussion. However, with only a fews weeks left of Parliament for this year, it is unclear what result a delay would have on the passage of the Bill.
