Every political party has issued a raft of policies including education, healthcare, welfare and more. To keep this page at a sensible limit we have restricted it to the main parties polling at least 5%, and have cherry-picked specific policies around tax, property and building.
I am updating this website as I see policies get released and argued over. They may be out of date and I might not include all of the details about every policy. It is natural for the incumbent (Labour) in this case to not have a lot of new policies and instead campaign on their record.
15 Sep Update: Now that NZ First is polling at 5% we plan update to include their policies.
