Fresh start welcomed
It’s an exciting time for a renewed and refreshed National Party. There has been a really positive response to the new leadership team of Christopher Luxon and Nicola Willis. Most people will have heard of Chris from his time as CEO of Air New Zealand. He brings real-world business experience to the leadership role and he represents a fresh start for National. Under his leadership we’re going to be focused on the issues important to New Zealanders and building a better, more ambitious future for our country.
I share his vision for a brighter more optimistic future for our country and all New Zealanders. For too long now we’ve been conditioned to mediocrity and a lack of ambition. It’s time to look positively forward with practical ideas and policies that will see us growing as a nation. Yes, sure we have challenges to confront and hurdles to overcome but I’m confident Christopher Luxon offers a real alternative to the gloom and division that has smothered our great little nation
in recent years.
I’ve retained my spokesperson role in Environment and have taken on the Climate Change and Associate Transport portfolios. These are policy areas that impact not only on our natural environment but on the lives of all New Zealanders.
The current government is more known for slogans than for actually delivering on their rhetoric. National is the party of practical environmentalism. I’m looking forward to continuing the conversation with New Zealanders about our Bluegreen approach to climate, environment and transport policy. Practical ideas, practical solutions and real opportunities to do more today for tomorrow and the generations that will follow us.
Of course I continue to represent and advocate for the Coromandel and Western Bay of Plenty.
