WATCH the Rt Hon Winston Peters' video message The New Zealand First Party will be having its Campaign Launch on Sunday, 12th of July, 1 p.m. at the Captain Bougainville Theatre in Forum North, Whangarei. Join our Party Leader Rt Hon Winston Peters, Northland candidate Hon Shane Jones, and Whangarei candidate Dr David Wilson - the Force for the North. We will discuss issues critical to Northland, Whangarei and the rest of New Zealand. This event is open to the public and we invite you to join us in launching our 2020 Campaign. We'll see you there!
Investing in jobs and infrastructure will boost our post COVID-19 rebuild.
Shane Jones today announced $3 billion worth of shovel-ready projects across the country. This package of infrastructure investments will help kick-start our post-COVID rebuild by creating more than 20,000 jobs up and down New Zealand. Building infrastructure provides vital economic stimulus and creates jobs at a time when we are in great need of both. The COVID Response and Recovery Fund (CRRF) set out in Budget 2020 earmarked $3 billion for infrastructure projects. This package is in addition to the $12 billion New Zealand Upgrade Programme announced earlier this year and existing Provincial Growth Fund investments. Minister Jones said the pipeline of projects would create immediate economic activity in the metropolitan centres as well as the regions. “Both are critical to our economic and social recovery from the COVID-19 crisis,” he said. “Not only has this massive undertaking provided us with the largest stocktake of infrastructure projects we’ve ever had but it’s enabled us to partner with central and local government, the private sector and community groups to deliver projects for all Kiwis." “I am extremely proud of the depth and breadth of this unprecedented piece of work,” Minister Jones added.

Farm Debt Mediation Scheme comes into effect today
The Farm Debt Mediation Scheme comes into effect today. This key NZ First policy is 20 years in the making. We recognise that a farm isn’t just a business - oftentimes, it’s a family home and the pride of generations of farmers. This scheme will ensure all options are explored to resolve debt issues before enforcement action is taken.
