Right now, it takes years and millions of dollars just to get permission to build a new supermarket. We’re cutting that red tape so new players can open faster, bring competition, and put real downward pressure on grocery prices.

Folks – big trade news today, which means more jobs, higher wages, and more opportunities for all Kiwis.

Thanks to the relentless work of @toddmcclaymp, our trade agreement with the UAE has officially passed into law, opening the door to a $500 billion market that imports 90% of its food.

This deal removes tariffs on almost all Kiwi exports and creates new opportunities for our world-class farmers and producers.

If you’ve got a twinkle in your eye and want to sell your product around the world, we’re with you.

Because taking on the best in the world grows our economy and creates opportunity for all New Zealanders.

It’s all part of our plan to get the economy back on track.

JUST ANNOUNCED: We're building a new medical school at the University of Waikato, focused on primary and rural healthcare.

That means 120 more doctors will train right here in NZ every year. That's a huge boost to our health workforce – not just in hospitals, but in local clinics, towns, and rural practices.

Councils are out of control - we’re cracking down.

New Zealand First has today introduced a member's bill which would make it law that government buildings can only display the official flag of New Zealand.

Government buildings are for all New Zealanders and should not be hijacked to force cultural, woke, or divisive political ideology down the throats of others.

This legislation would ban symbols and flags of politically motivated ideology and division from being displayed on government buildings.

New Zealand First believes in one country, one people, one flag.

The “Display of Flags (Government Premises) Bill” would restrict flags being displayed on Crown buildings, local authority properties, and state schools to the official flag of New Zealand.  Only in specific circumstances could an officially recognised flag of another country or territory being hosted on official business be displayed.

It would create clear rules: only the New Zealand flag can be displayed and establishes offences for those who display unauthorised flags or fail to enforce compliance.  

This is about protecting our national identity, national pride, and keeping our government buildings free from political activism.

An honour to represent New Zealand at the Vatican for the funeral of Pope Francis, and to remember a life of service to his faith and the people who share it.

As night fell in New Zealand, I joined around 500 Kiwis at Chunuk Bair to honour our countrymen who fought here and across the Peninsula with courage and determination.

May we keep the bravery, the bloodshed, and the heroism that took place here in our minds as we declare our century old promise: we will remember them.

The New Zealand and UK governments are focused on economic growth, because growth is the ticket to more jobs, higher incomes, and more money in our people’s back pockets.

Free trade is a big part of the growth.

So in London I met with UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds and Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Steve Reed to discuss the mutual opportunities for our countries.

It was great to talk this morning with my friend, President Zelenskyy, with it an opportunity to assure him of New Zealand’s steadfast support to Ukraine.

The President and his people are courageous in the face of Russia’s ongoing aggression.

We discussed the path to a just and lasting peace, with the next step being the need for Russia to show it too is serious about ending the war by agreeing an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.

Ukrainian drones repelled a massive russian armored attack.
The 427th Rarog Regiment is a part of the the “Drone Line” initiative, aimed at expanding the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to create a continuous strike zone along the front line.

New Zealand stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine.

I’ve just attended the Virtual Summit on Ukraine, hosted by Prime Minister Sir @Keir_Starmer, attended by President @EmmanuelMacron, President @ZelenskyyUa, and many other leaders.

Our discussion included how to support Ukraine to achieve a just and lasting peace.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Thank you for your support.
