There have been several major announcements made of late, most notably the reintroduction of charter schools and the creation of the National Gang Unit. 

National's Mark Mitchell and Labour's Ginny Andersen joined Andrew Dickens on Politics Wednesday to dig into the announcements. 

Mark Mitchell said that the Labour Government left them with a real mess.

He told Andrew Dickens that they're like an arsonist returning to the scene of the crime to watch how long it's going to take to put the fires out.
