Labour unveils 2026 campaign slogan: “Better starts now”

Labour has launched its 2026 election campaign slogan: “Better starts now. Kia eke, ināianei.”
“New Zealand cannot afford three more years of National. New Zealanders have worked hard through three tough years, but too many people are still going backwards,” Labour Leader Chris Hipkins said.
“This election is a choice: three more years of hardship, or a better future. While National is making things worse, Labour is fighting for more jobs, affordable healthcare, and lower household bills, so everyone can build a future here at home.
“‘Better starts now’ captures the spirit of our campaign. It’s a call to action, and a promise for better jobs, more affordable healthcare, warm, dry homes, and real action on the cost of living.
“Starting today, our slogan will be featured in electorates across the country. We’re excited to take our message to every New Zealander who could use a dose of hope right now.
“Better starts now,” Chris Hipkins said.
Labour’s hoardings will begin going up across the country from today, ahead of the party’s campaign launch on 27 September in Auckland.







How come so many people are so gormless? Truly, can’t they see the obvious – that this current CoC has turned into a ‘wrecking ball’ destroying much of what NZ stands for – fairness, dignity, principles, moral fortitude etc. Of course we can’t ever get it all but FGS we also can’t allow our lovely NZ to fall apart just to appease the monied wealthy, most of whom are using the many loopholes to avoid paying their share! Time to close all the loopholes and if you are not prepared to pay your way in NZ, then go and bludge off another country – you are no better than a common “parasite”! NZ can’t afford three more years of this mayhem! ‘Better Starts Now’ absolutely can’t be as bad as the dregs we currently have. Kiwis need hope, fairness and stability, all sadly missing with this inept, corrupt CoC! NZ must have a complete RESET in order to survive!
