Great to pack out the Caucus Room last night with more than 120 people for the 2026 Lower North Island Young Nats Campaign Launch.

A big thank you to Chris Bishop and Tom Rutherford MP for Bay of Plenty for hosting us, and to all the Ministers and MPs who came along to support the team.

It was the perfect way to kick off the year and the big campaign ahead. If you have been thinking about getting involved, this is the year. We will have plenty of opportunities across the region in the months ahead, so keep an eye out and bring a mate along.

Sign up today to get involved and come to events like this: https://www.national.org.nz/my/sign-up

Big news for Wellington motorists! 🚙

Great to see progress that keeps the Lower North Island moving and backs better infrastructure for our region.

Getting your driver’s licence is about to get a whole lot easier and cheaper! 🚙🪪

The Government has announced the biggest shake-up to driver licensing in over a decade, cutting costs, removing unnecessary tests, and making the system work better for young people. These changes recognise that a licence is key to getting to work, study, and everyday life, and that the current system has been outdated and expensive for too long.

It’s about practical, common-sense reform that gives young Kiwis a fairer go, while keeping road safety front and centre. Fixing the basics and Building the future.
