What we have to do is not band-aid solutions, and we actually have to tackle the fundamental economic challenges we have. That means lowering costs for New Zealanders, and it also means growing this economy, and that's how we set it up for people to do well.

We're going to increase minimum wage each and every year in line with inflation, more or less
Yes, that instinctively is a position of the National Party. But I do want to work in a cross-party way with Chris to try and have a proper conversation about retirement.
Maths is an important life skill which opens doors to jobs, qualifications and a more prosperous future so we want every child to gain those skills
