flag Prime Minister Chris Luxon focuses on economic recovery, crime reduction, and fiscal discipline ahead of a likely election.

flag Prime Minister Chris Luxon is prioritizing economic recovery and basic governance in his campaign for a second term, focusing on fiscal discipline, education reform, and reducing crime. flag Speaking in a State of the Nation address, he highlighted progress in lowering inflation, improving business confidence, and implementing law-and-order policies, while avoiding new spending promises. flag His government is expected to reverse Auckland’s housing intensification plans, and a likely election date may be announced soon during the National Party’s caucus retreat. flag Despite a recent economic contraction and declining public confidence, Luxon maintains that his administration is rebuilding stability. flag Labour leader Chris Hipkins dismissed the speech as lacking vision, citing Labour’s eight-point poll lead and concerns over coalition tensions. flag The government has remained silent on major international events, including U.S. actions in Venezuela and Greenland, leaving foreign policy commentary to Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters.
