Very sad to hear of the passing of Sir Tim Shadbolt. An iconic Kiwi who devoted his life to advocacy & public service. Sir Tim was never afraid of a fight, but always on the basis of solid principles. He brought colour & personality to his politics and will be missed. RIP Tim.

The Government's own economic update confirms what Kiwis already know: that Christopher Luxon and Nicola Willis are making things worse. Labour will build a New Zealand that works for everyone - where everyone who works hard can get ahead.

New data released today shows Kiwis are continuing to give up and head abroad in a clear vote of no confidence in Christopher Luxon. My plan will give people and our children a reason to stay in New Zealand: jobs, opportunity, and wealth that is made here and stays here.

Here’s what is exempt from our simple, targeted capital gains tax: the family home, farms, inheritances, KiwiSaver, shares, businesses, and personal items. That’s what you need to know for your Thursday.

Christopher Luxon has admitted he's looking at selling off our assets. Labour will protect what we own and keep our assets in Kiwi hands.

Labour's plan for New Zealand is taking shape: 🤝 A Future Fund that backs our people and businesses. 🧑‍⚕️ Three free doctor's visits a year for every Kiwi. 💜 Free cervical screening. We'll be a Government that puts people first.

#BREAKING Cervical screening will be free, with Labour's Medicard. Add that to free doctor's visits for every New Zealander, we're building a health system that keeps people healthy.

#BREAKING Christopher Luxon has broken yet another record: The number of Kiwis out of work has reached its highest number in 30 years.

Mōrena to all New Zealanders who, under Labour, will receive three free doctor’s visits a year. And all you’ll need is your Medicard — not your credit card. 🪪🫡

#BREAKING: Labour will provide three free doctor’s visits a year for everyone, delivered via a brand new Medicard and funded by a targeted tax on property profits, excluding the family home.

#BREAKING: I’ve just announced a BOOST to our world-class gaming industry. More jobs, more innovation, and more Kiwi-made games on the world stage! 🗺️🎮🇳🇿

Mōrena to everyone except Christopher Luxon who has taken a wrecking ball to the construction sector — with 20,000 job cuts. Real jobs that families depend on.

The attack on Winston Peters home today was totally unacceptable. MPs homes are not the place to protest. No matter the cause, political violence is never ok and should be condemned. Free speech is healthy in a democracy, political violence is not.

Nigel Latta was a Kiwi icon and legend. I’m saddened to hear of his passing and my thoughts go out to his wife Natalie and their children. He was a regular on TV screens and in households right around the country — such pragmatism, grace and personability. He will be missed.
