A new Government priority list is being described as a gimmick.  

The checklist includes reintroducing three strikes, delivering tax relief, and creating a plan to tackle school attendance problems by June 30.  

Former United Future leader and Political Commentator Peter Dunne says some of that will take real work to accomplish.  

He told Mike Hosking that part of it is building public perception.  

Dunne says the Prime Minister wants to be seen as a man of action who's constantly making progress.
