National is the party of economic responsibility. New Zealanders deserve a government that takes its economic responsibilities seriously, not one that hides the bill.

Labour has a hidden bill with no plan for how they’ll pay for it. So far, their spending promises add up to $21b, while their new Capital Gains Tax raises $2.8b. That leaves a gap of $18.2b. Hipkins must be upfront with New Zealanders about how he plans to fill that gap, and whether it's by increasing taxes or increasing borrowing. National is the party of economic responsibility. That's what Kiwis deserve from their government - not one that hides the bill.

National has delivered tougher consequences for criminals, banned gang patches, and put more Police on the beat to make our communities safer.

Primary sector exports are set to hit a record $64.3 billion by the end of this month. We’re hustling to increase trade to create more jobs and opportunities for Kiwis.

You voted for the party of law and order. We’re delivering on our promise to reduce crime, crack down on criminals, and make our communities safer.

National is delivering more trade deals and opening up opportunities overseas for Kiwi businesses - because every container we sell offshore means more money flowing into local communities.

Same old Labour. More policies that don’t add up that will result in higher spending, more taxes, and more borrowing.

National is delivering for farmers and rural New Zealand. We removed agriculture from the ETS. Fixed unworkable freshwater rules. Banned full farm to forest conversions. Got rid of the Ute Tax. We created Investment Boost. We’re replacing the RMA. Delivered the India Free Trade Agreement. Increased exports by $17 billion since we took office. And we’ll increase the permanent baseline funding for the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust. National is fixing the basics and building the future for rural New Zealand.

Good to see Labour MPs are so respectful of voters who want to hear their policies.

Labour’s first election year policy shows they are straight back to their old ways - throwing money around with no plan for how they’ll pay for it.

Labour’s first election year policy shows they are straight back to their old ways of throwing money around rather than solving underlying problems. Labour is once again trying to bribe New Zealanders with their own money. This is yet another spending promise from the Labour Party with no plan for how they’ll pay for it. The National Land Transport Fund is already oversubscribed. The idea of siphoning a quarter of a billion dollars from the Fund to pay for this is fanciful. Ultimately this policy will require higher taxes or more borrowing. This comes on top of billions of dollars in other spending promises they have made with no way to pay for it – such as restoring pay equity, unwinding public sector savings, and how they will pay for their Future Fund. For New Zealanders that means more taxes and more borrowing, which ultimately means higher inflation and interest rates, and greater pressure on the cost of living. When it comes to tackling cost of living challenges, the difference between National and Labour couldn't be clearer. Labour's approach is more subsidies, more handouts, and more temporary fixes – none of which do anything to address the underlying causes of the cost-of-living pressures impacting Kiwi families. National is focused on stopping wasteful spending to reduce inflation and growing the economy so New Zealanders can earn more and get ahead. The best way to address the cost-of-living is a growing economy that sees wages growing faster than prices. It is time for Labour to be upfront with New Zealanders about how they will fund their hidden bill, either increasing taxes now or increasing borrowing to be paid back by future generations. Higher taxes, more debt and larger deficits is a recipe for more inflation, higher interest rates, and a slower recovery, with fewer jobs and lower wages. That is the choice on offer from Labour, whether they admit it or not.

Day one at Fieldays.

This doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of National backing Police, cracking down on gangs, and restoring law and order.

We’re giving paramedics the ability to prescribe medicine, reducing pressure on emergency departments so you can be seen faster.
