Dear John --

Today, our Leader Christopher Luxon delivered a speech outlining his thoughts on COVID, the ongoing protests, government mandates, and how we can begin to heal the division that has opened in New Zealand.

If you missed Christopher's speech, you could watch it by clicking the image below or read a copy here.

Christopher talked about the protest at Parliament being illustrative of frustration at COVID, but that our country also faces many other challenges – a cost of living crisis, increasing benefit dependency, house prices through the roof, and the sense that it is harder than ever to get ahead.

The Prime Minister talks about the team of five million, but actually she leads the most divisive Government in recent memory.

Renters versus landlords. Business owners versus workers. Farmers versus cities. Kiwis at home versus those stuck abroad. The vaccinated versus the unvaccinated.

Kiwis don’t want more platitudes from the podium. They want leadership and a clear plan of what the future looks like. 

There is a real momentum for positive change in New Zealand, and National under the leadership of Christopher Luxon will be that change.

I encourage you to watch and read Christopher's speech.

Kind regards

Nicola
