The rising cost of essentials like rent, food, power and transport is putting increasing pressure on households across Aotearoa. At the same time, a lack of government investment in skills, infrastructure, and innovation has resulted in too few jobs for too many people.  

We have everything we need to create a thriving economy that works for all of us. Yet New Zealanders are being forced into insecure low-wage work, or to leave their whānau and communities in search of a decent job.  

This makes no sense when there is so much work that that needs to be done. New Zealand needs more quality and affordable houses, better public transport options, cleaner energy, and a healthier environment. We have the tools to make that happen.
