Early start as Kahurangi National chases votes
National Party Māori spokesperson Nuk Korako says the party’s Kahurangi ropu will play a key role developing policy for the next election.
The party launched the Kahurangi National Tāmaki Makaurau division at an event in Auckland last week.
Mr Korako says it drew about 170 people, including many of the region’s iwi leaders and a large number of rangatahi, as well as eight Auckland National MPs.
"There is a big push to actually now start getting out to our people, not in the third year of the cycle but now, in the first year of this parliamentary term, listening to our peopel, using those groups, particularly around policy, and then get it out to our people," he says.
Those policies better not be expensive – Nuk Korako says National Party leader Nuk Korako has pledged to roll back any capital gains tax Labour might introduce, and to have now new taxes for the first term of the next national Government.
