Labour and The Greens are planning a joint “state of the nation” event this Sunday. On Stuff:
Labour and the Green Party will jointly lay out their agenda for 2017 at the first ever “state of the nation” event involving both parties.
However there will be no joint policy between the parties at the event, said Labour leader Andrew Little.
The two left-wing parties announced the event on Tuesday, saying Little and Green Party co-leader Metiria Turei would “discuss the social and economic challenges and opportunities facing the country and present a vision of the stable, responsible, alternative that the parties will offer New Zealand”.
Speaking to media in Martinborough where Little and the Labour caucus were having a 3-day retreat, he said the joint event was about “showing we can do things together, even if at the same time we’re competing in the Mt Albert by-election”. …
In an email to supporters Andrew Little wrote:
This election year we’re kicking off our campaign to change the Government with our State of the Nation in Auckland on Sunday 29 January.
For the first time in New Zealand history, we’ll be holding a joint State of the Nation with another political party, the Greens.
In our speeches, we’ll be laying out our priorities for the election campaign and our vision for a stable, responsible alternative. We’ll also be letting you know more on how we’re going to work together to change the Government.
Good to see the effects of the MOU in action!
