Overview
Steven Joyce was one of the most senior ministers in the Key National Government and the National Party's campaign strategist since 2005. He entered Parliament in 2008 when National came back into power and led the party's winning campaigns in 2011 and 2014. John Key, Bill English and Steven Joyce were the three key powerbrokers of the Key government, with Joyce both strategist and enforcer of party discipline. This book goes into detail about what it takes to win and keep office and how strategy and a strong campaign are essential components of that.
Joyce has been a senior minister for nearly all of his 10 years in Parliament and gained a reputation as ""minister for everything"" when former Prime Minister John Key took to sending him in to clean up messes like the Novopay debacle and to run the new super-ministry the Ministry for Business, Innovation and Employment.
He spent eight years as an effective apprentice to former Finance Minister Bill English, before becoming Finance Minister when English became Prime Minister. He has also held the heavyweight transport and infrastructure portfolios.
Highlights during Joyce's decade in Parliament including setting up major infrastructure projects like ultrafast broadband, the motorway and expressway projects that were now beginning to be used, and the electrification of Auckland's commuter rail network.
