100-Day Plan

We understand New Zealanders expect more than just promises; they want delivery. That's why we launched an ambitious 100-day plan that included concrete actions aimed at improving the lives of people across the country.

Our focus is clear: rebuild the economy, ease the cost of living, restore law and order, and deliver better public services.

Here are just some of the actions we took in our first 100 days:
