OPINION: You know it is an election year when politicians start the year by clearing the decks of things they don't want to spend the rest of the year talking about.
Monday was Prime Minister John Key's turn when he dealt with the "will he, won't he" questions about NZ First.
Yesterday was Labour leader David Cunliffe's turn to decisively shed some of the baggage Labour had been carrying since the last election - its proposals to axe GST on fresh fruit and vegetables, and its equally ill-timed promise to make the first $500 of income tax free.
Ill-timed because the two policies combined added up to a $1.5 billion credibility gap for Labour at the time they were unveiled in 2011, hard on the heels of recession and the global financial crisis.
Cunliffe's predecessor, David Shearer, dropped plenty of hints that he was going to scrap both, sparking cries from Labour's opponents yesterday that the new leader's announcement was nothing more than a reheated u-turn.
But Cunliffe's announcement yesterday was important for Labour for two reasons - it was unambiguous, meaning he won't have to answer questions about it next week when he delivers his first crucial State of the Nation speech.
And it also reinforces the idea that Labour has given itself the fiscal head room for the more targeted policies that Mr Cunliffe hinted would be unveiled in that speech next week.
Cunliffe hinted strongly that his speech would likely include a payment to families with children - a plan which would build on Labour's key theme that inequality has risen under the Key government.
It will play well with Labour's core constituency. But it will also need to survive the credibility test with the wider electorate if Cunliffe wants to win first points in the opening salvoes of the election campaign.

We told you last month about unsafe drinking water in Granger and Gilmer Park in St. Joseph County.
A group tasked with finding solutions is looking at a number of possibilities.
"We're looking at a whole range of perhaps 30 different alternatives and it will vary depending on how severe the water contamination problem is in any given area," says St. Joseph County Environmental Health Director, Marc Nelson.
Some of those alternatives include things like sewer service, water service, and upgrading septic systems.
For now, folks can install water filtration systems.
"It's important to have one good, safe, trusted water source in your house," says Culligan Water Specialist, Kurt Sells.
Sells says that can be done with a reverse osmosis system. Experts can hook the filtration system up to your kitchen faucet. Sells says it can remove up to 87 percent of nitrates in drinking water.
"You use it in your coffee pot. You use it when you're making the kids Kool-Aid, you use it when you're washing off your vegetables and your fruit. You've got perfect water that you're using for that all the time," says Sells.
The health department says 20 percent of homes in Gilmer Park and 10 percent of Granger homes exceed the federal standard of nitrates in drinking water. That's ten parts per million.
A long term solution could take years, but now they've voted on a plan to move forward.

Menshiet Nasser is one of Cairo's largest slums
But instead of waiting for Prime Minister Hazem Al-Beblawis slum renewal project, announced in November, to bear fruit, many are simply coping as best they can without the state.
When basic services are lacking, it is often down to slum dwellers to use their own initiative. They dig land, construct septic tanks and water pipes, install storage barrels, and raise community funds to get private engineers to build sewage pipes and connect them to the main network.
These communities have an inherent self-reliance in finding ways to get by, said Thomas Culhane, co-founder of Solar CITIES, an NGO that invests in solar and renewable energy in poor communities.
Few sit around waiting for the government to fulfil its promises.
Theres a lot of mistrust among slum residents regarding the governments intentions. Theyve been promised so many things, yet nothings been delivered, said Khalil Shaat, technical advisor at the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ).
According to official government figures, Cairo has 112 informal areas. Out of those, 24 are classified as category I, or life-threatening. Twenty-eight are category II, meaning unsuitable housing; 11 are category III, meaning health-threatening; and 49 are planned.
Ezzat Naem Guindy, the founder of the Spirit of Youth Association for Environmental Service (SOY), which works in Manshiet Nasser, one of Cairos largest slums, says the area is a model in terms of self-reliance. While the government is not completely absent, poor infrastructure and the irregular provision of public services create serious problems.
IRIN took a look at how Manshiet Nasser slum residents survive, and how they compensate for the lack of state support with their own networks of services.

Rochester, N.Y.--Mark Bartholomew has a hard enough time staying warm as he races from call to call. Combine his daily routine as a paramedic for Rural Metro with slippery roads and often un-shoveled walkways or porches and their response times can be greatly impacted.
"It gets very dangerous to try to carry somebody out because now we have to make sure we have solid footing, we don't slip while carrying somebody and then they get hurt and we get hurt," explained the veteran paramedic.
At times EMS workers must act more like public works employees during winter.
"Whoever the parter, who is not taking care of the patient if they have a shovel and shovel a oath we carry salt so we can salt the sidewalk, salt the steps so we can have a little better traction," added Bartholomew.
First responders urge residents to shovel a path to the street if able, for those who live near elderly or disabled people, they encourage them to help their neighbors.
Often times those being transported are not dressed for severe cold, making the moments EMS have to get them into an ambulance more precious.
