Kia ora John,

Did you see Carmel's email on Wednesday? It's below ICYMI. 👇

Let’s not forget: David Seymour wrote the divisive Treaty Principles Bill, ruined the school lunch programme, and bragged about changing the law to pay women less than they deserve. 

Tomorrow, he becomes Deputy Prime Minister. What better reason to give to Labour's Fightback Fund?

Every dollar you donate will be matched. You give $20, we get $40. You give $100, we get $200. It's that easy.

Please consider donating today so we can fight back and stand up for good jobs, affordable homes, and quality healthcare.

Have a great long weekend!

Ngā mihi maioha,

Rob

PS - Thank you so much if you're one of the 600+ people who already donated. Thanks to you, we're already more than two-thirds of the way to our $140,000 goal. Thank you for standing up for your values!

Kia ora John,

When I was Deputy Prime Minister, I knew my job was to stand up for every New Zealander.

This Saturday, David Seymour steps into that role — and honestly, John, I don’t think he’s up to it. I’m worried the wheels are going to come off, and fast.

That’s why Labour must be ready to campaign at any moment—and why your support matters now more than ever.

Right now, every dollar you donate to Labour’s Fightback Fund today will be matched—doubling your impact instantly. Give $20, we get $40. Give $100, we get $200. It’s that simple. Are you in, John?

Did you know David Seymour bragged last week he'd “saved” National’s Budget by cutting women's future pay? 

That’s who is about to be Deputy Prime Minister - a man who'd rather cut taxes for tobacco companies than pay nurses, teachers, and midwives what they deserve. Governments always have choices, and this is a terrible choice.

What do you say, John? Let’s show Christopher Luxon and his mate David Seymour what people power really looks like.

Labour is proud to be a people-powered party. And with your support today, we can be ready to kick out this government—so we can build a better future for New Zealand. 

But the match offer won’t last. To double your impact, please consider donating now.

Ngā mihi,

Carmel Sepuloni

Deputy Labour Leader
