Unemployment grinds at the soul of societies. A waste of human potential & at 5.4% a massive failure of Government policy. Investing in good jobs will be one of Labour’s biggest priorities.

The turn in weather today meant more people at home, and more opportunity to speak to residents in Blockhouse Bay about the issues that matter to them.

Hitting the doors my message today was clear.

Rain or shine, I’ll show up for Mt Roskill. #nzpol #nz #newzealand #aotearoa #politics

We need to go further than the Bill proposes in my view, but in politics you have to start somewhere and this provides that opportunity. A good example of the parliamentary process working. (4/4) #nz #nzpol #politics #newzealand #aotearoa

However, all progress was stopped after the change of government.
It is great that my good friend Camilla Belich MP has teamed up with Greg Fleming to get a Members Bill through that will start us on the path. (3/4) #nzpol #nz #politics #newzealand

When I was Minister for Workplace Relations & Safety I got cabinet to agree to progress to drafting legislation so that New Zealand could catch up with other countries who have legislated to stamp out Modern Slavery by making supply chains more transparent. (2/4) #nzpol #nz #politics #newzealand

Act Party's lack of support for modern slavery bill sees National team up with Labour This is the first time such a rule has been used in Parliament.

This is a really good piece of news. Modern Slavery condemns over 40 million people worldwide into horrific lives of forced servitude. Many of the products we consume here in NZ are connected to Modern Slavery. (1/4) #nzpol #nz #politics #newzealand #aotearoa

Mōrena and welcome back to Auckland Council for 2026! First committee meeting of the day today and it's Governing Body. We are waiting to start and at the moment have most councillors in the room, just that start of the school year catch-ups delaying us.

While this Government desperately pushes through legislation to make voting as difficult as possible for our communities. Myself and the Mt Roskill Labour Party are planning a Day Of Action focused on enrolling as many people to vote as possible - and we need your help! (1/2) #nzpol #nz #newzealand

Very cool to see work starting on the 3rd Drury rail station.

Labour funded these along with rail electrification to Pukekohe as part of the NZ Upgrade programme.

Takes awhile, but will mean new communities with access to the rail network from day 1.

Our campaign to change the government and win back Mt Roskill is underway. We don’t have the big money that the other side of politics relies on, instead we rely on people. (1/3) #nzpol #nz #politics #newzealand
