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.

#BREAKING: Labour has a plan to make it cheaper, easier, and faster to see a doctor. Today I announced the next step — to support our doctors to set up in the community or expand the practices we already have.

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.

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.
