Kia ora ,

They want you to believe nothing can change. That this is just how it is now - costs up, wages flat, your kids booking one-way tickets to Australia. They're wrong.

We are a small country that has always made the impossible feel normal. We know the odds - and we roll up our sleeves and get it done. That is who we are.

So here's the question this election comes down to: do we build a country where working hard actually gets you ahead, or one where it never quite does? I know which one I'm fighting for.

But we can’t do it alone, . Every dollar we raise this week goes straight to getting our plan in front of more New Zealanders. Are you with us?

Here’s who we’re in this for: Everyone doing it tough right now, and holding on anyway. The parents trying to make it all add up. The young person who shouldn't have to leave to get ahead. The people building businesses, and the people who keep them running. The nurse, the tradie, the early-morning shift worker we all rely on. For all of us.

Your job. Your health. Your home. It’s not a slogan. It's a to-do list.

And we've already started - a simple, practical plan built around you. Better jobs. Affordable healthcare. Bills you can actually pay.

Today, I announced the next step: we'll expand Apprenticeship Boost - backing employers to take on young people, putting the tools in their hands from day one, and keeping their skills right here in New Zealand. One step among many to support Kiwis to build a life here.

This is the choice in 137 days: a country that gives up on you, or one that backs you.

Luxon gave up on you. Labour never will.

This campaign doesn't belong to me. It belongs to you - and it runs on people, not big money. Chip in even $5 today, and you're not backing a politician. You're backing a country that backs you.

Let's roll up our sleeves. Let's build it here, together.
