The Spin


Luxon's caucus is united and ready to fight for New Zealand's future, with a positive plan to fix the basics and build the country forward. The National government has made real progress on economic growth, law and order, and health care — and there's clearly more to do. November 7 gives voters a crystal-clear choice between moving forward or going backwards.

National has spent years promising things would get better while costs for groceries, power and health care keep rising and unemployment climbs. A government that drags MPs back for emergency meetings during recess week isn't governing — it's barely holding together. New Zealand deserves leadership focused on affordable health care and good jobs, not endless internal battles.
