Merry Christmas 2024

The last week of the sitting year in parliament was an oratorial fireworks show celebrating the end of a challenging but positive year for New Zealand.

Party Leader Rt Hon Winston Peters delivered a dynamic reflection on 2024 including a few jibes at the woke cacophony from the left side of the house. Make sure you watch HERE.

Fast Track Consenting ready to go

Jamie Mackay’s 2024 Politician of the Year for ‘telling it like it is’, including his array of outstanding quotes. None more famous that what happens if you come across a blind frog when there is something to be dug up… it’s “Goodbye Freddy”. We are of course talking about none other than Hon Shane Jones.

Listen to Shane’s final interview for the year on The Country HERE.

The last week in parliament also saw Shane leading the charge once again as the new Fast Track consenting legislation passed its third reading.

New Zealand First campaigned on regional development, commonsense progress, and economic investment to get New Zealand thriving again. This piece of work is what Shane Jones says he is most proud to have progressed during 2024 – hear more from him directly below:

• Shane Jones: "The economic boost is coming through Fast Track."
• Shane Jones: Fast Track is now law. No more strangulation of commerce, development and growth.

From everyone here, we wish you all a very Happy Christmas, and a safe and prosperous New Year.
