Ngā kaupapa | Policies

We’ve listened to thousands of workers across the country and have identified a set of policies that will put Aotearoa on a new path.

Achieving an Aotearoa that works for everyone will take time. But our belief is that delivering each of these polices will get us closer to that goal. They are the first steps in a longer journey.

Together we can choose to create a society that works for everyone both now and in the future.

  • Strengthening workers’ rights
    Creating a society that works for everyone starts with strong worker rights. Our industrial relations system is broken. It’s time for bold change. READ MORE
  • Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi
    Our vision is for a future where Tangata Whenua have realised tino rangatiratanga. We must honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi by implementing it in law and in our constitutional frameworks. READ MORE
  • Ending inequality
    Everyone deserves security, dignity, and to have enough to thrive. Ending inequality in Aotearoa is possible—we just need to make different choices. READ MORE
  • Creating a prosperous economy
    The economy should work for everyone, not just a select few. That starts with a bold, worker-centred industrial strategy—one that prioritises full employment, regional development, and real investment in innovation. READ MORE
  • Guaranteeing worker education and training
    Every worker deserves access to training, fair pay, and real opportunities. A fairer future means helping people learn the skills they need to thrive in a changing world. READ MORE
  • Building infrastructure
    Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to live that has access to modern infrastructure and low-cost public transport. We need to build communities that enable people to prosper. READ MORE
  • Investing in social infrastructure
    Care work is vital in our society, yet it remains undervalued and underfunded. We need a cradle-to-grave support system that ensures good work, gender equality, and social justice. READ MORE
  • Taking strong climate action
    Aotearoa must take real action to meet its climate obligations and deliver a just transition for the workers and communities who will bear the brunt of the climate crisis. READ MORE
  • Ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share
    For too long, our tax system has exacerbated wealth and income inequality. It’s time to rebalance the tax system and ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share. READ MORE
  • Improving public debate
    Good decision making relies on rational, informed and constructive public debate. We need to look at ways to ensure that people have access to reliable information and that their voices are heard. READ MORE

Our Next Steps

This does not mark the end of the journey for Reimagining Aotearoa Together. It’s important that we advance the kaupapa by demonstrating the widespread public support for this plan.

That’s why we are asking you to support for the plan and share it with your friends, whānau and networks.

Over the next year, we will be working with allies and community groups to build more detailed policy positions for the next election in targeted areas, releasing new discussion documents that demonstrate why we desperately need change.

We will also be working to secure policy commitments from political parties to ensure that future governments listen to the voices of working people and implement the ideas in this plan.

Together, we can build a future that works for everyone – and so we ask that you continue to engage with us as we take that journey together.
