Our 2011 election manifesto - Labour Party

Summary
We live in challenging times. Labour will rise to meet those challenges. We will build a better
future for our kids: a future that we can own and can afford; a future that we can invest in
and save for.
The choice facing New Zealanders in Election 2011 is stark: between Labour‟s approach
that means we can all own more of our own future, and our opponents who wish to sell down
New Zealand‟s most productive public assets, and who are failing to address the core
underlying economic issues that are holding New Zealand back.
New Zealand‟s credit rating has been downgraded twice this year already, with a sobering
warning that more downgrades can be expected unless changes are made. Labour has the
courage and the plan to do what is right for New Zealand, to build a strong and growing
economy and to ensure that the benefits are fairly shared.
