"Today we have made a choice that will leave a legacy... I hope that means that future generations will see that we, in New Zealand, were on the right side of history." - Jacinda Ardern, Third Reading of the Zero Carbon Bill

We began the week by commemorating the New Zealand Wars and celebrating a major increase in the number of teachers. Then, we were busy supporting offenders into work and getting our rail back on track after years of underinvestment. And that's just the start!

In October I was sworn in as the Mayor of Lower Hutt.

It’s the privilege of my life to serve Hutt people as their Mayor. There is something really special to be able to serve the community where I was raised, and where I live.  

This week, we’re taking action on climate change, expanding trades education – and celebrating two years of progress!

“I refuse to accept the challenge of climate change is too hard to solve.” – Jacinda Ardern

We're rebuilding our hospitals, protecting our oceans, and taking mental health seriously.

We want every New Zealander to be happy, safe, and healthy. To do this, we need to support strong, safe communities, and a robust and efficient health system.

We're managing the Government books responsibly, helping more Kiwis into homes, and supporting New Zealanders with disabilities. 

Since coming into Government, we’ve worked hard to tackle homelessness and make sure everyone has a warm, dry home. And today, on World Homeless Day, we want to report back and update you on our progress so far.
