National’s manifesto to secure NZ’s future

A country where hard work is rewarded. Where young New Zealanders can see a future for themselves here. Where businesses with big ideas can start here, raise capital here, grow here and take on the world from here.

We want New Zealand to be a country of owners. More families owning their homes. More New Zealanders building meaningful savings and retirement wealth. More Kiwi businesses owned by New Zealanders. More of our capital invested in the companies, infrastructure and ideas that will shape our future.

We want an economy that is more productive, more outward looking and more ambitious. An economy with world class infrastructure and abundant, affordable energy. One that sells more to the world, attracts investment and talent, embraces new technology and gives New Zealand businesses the confidence to invest, employ and grow.

It means children leaving school able to read, write and do maths brilliantly, with genuine choices about what comes next. It means patients getting timely, quality healthcare. It means families being able to afford a home, raise children and build financial security. It means safer streets and communities.

Over the past three years we have brought inflation down, delivered tax relief, restored a focus on achievement in schools, strengthened consequences for crime and started building the infrastructure, energy and productive capacity our growing country needs.

The next three years are about building on those foundations and looking further ahead. National has a plan to keep New Zealand moving forward and build a stronger, more secure and more prosperous future.
