Where it stands

Compare all parties →

Labour’s positions in its own words, quoted from its published material — 5 of 8 areas. Where it does not state a position, we say so rather than infer one.

Cost of living

“$20 a week is the most you'll pay to get around by bus or train under Labour. In place by 1 July 2027.”

$20 Fare Cap ↗
Tax

“A simple, targeted 28% tax on profit from selling investment property after 1 July 2027. Nine in 10 New Zealanders won't pay it.”

Capital Gains Tax ↗
Housing

not stated

Health

“Three free doctor's visits a year for everyone. Delivered with Labour's new Medicard.”

SolarSaver ↗
Law & order

not stated

Treaty & Māori affairs

not stated

Quoted from Labour's published 2026 election policy page. Its 2026 platform leads with health, transport, tax and energy measures; it does not state a housing, law-and-order or Treaty policy on that page, so those areas are not stated.
