**Christopher Luxon**  
National Party Leader

It’s been a busy week in Parliament. National is back, we are united, and we are focused on the issues that matter to Kiwis.  
  
**On Monday, I announced a new National for New Zealand – a fresh, energised, alternative government ready to deliver for Kiwis in 2023\. [You can view our new line-up by clicking here](https://www.national.org.nz/team?e=96faa3b0983e4aa00625b4fed9d85727&utm%5Fsource=nationalparty&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=one%5Fweek%5Fin%5F9%5Fdec%5F21%5F2&n=1).**  
  
Our new Shadow Cabinet leverages the wealth of talent and depth of real-world experience across the National Caucus team. It is also based on merit and matches people to their strengths and skill sets.  
  
**On Wednesday, I spoke in the General Debate in Parliament. National backs our small businesses, our parents, our families, and our rural sector. [If you missed my speech, you can watch it here](https://www.national.org.nz/r?u=27Ax0UmWOX2J8J%5FQwK9Z6n9vZnm-xAfGkjfODfJJqKrtpnO9g-irOYk7oDAqCgfSjbIBCB3ZOMTdgyTSXhWLiLjzjFxI1mkic4XVQE%5F3Zjg&e=96faa3b0983e4aa00625b4fed9d85727&utm%5Fsource=nationalparty&utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fcampaign=one%5Fweek%5Fin%5F9%5Fdec%5F21%5F2&n=2).**  
  
**This Friday, I will also be hosting my first public meeting as Leader of the National Party at the Morrinsville Mega Cow at 1 pm**. If you’re in the area, please come and say hello! I’ll be speaking about my story and vision for New Zealand, the challenges we face as a country, and how National is going to tackle them.  
  
**National will be a Government-in-waiting that will relentlessly hold this spin-heavy and PR-driven Government to account, and focus on proposing detailed, constructive, and intellectually rigorous solutions.**  
  
New Zealanders deserve so much more than they’re currently getting from Labour. They deserve more than a government of rhetoric.  
  
The National Government I lead will be a government of action. We are the ambitious, future-focused alternative that New Zealand needs.  
  
**From now, our singular priority every day will be working hard to earn Kiwis’ trust and confidence so we can get to the Beehive in 2023 and deliver for them.**  
  
Regards
