Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has revealed a list of goals he wants his Government to achieve by June 30.
On Tuesday Luxon released an "action plan" setting out key steps he is promising to take to "rebuild the economy, restore law and order and improve public services".
"I am proud to lead a Government of action. We are delivering big changes that are already making a real difference to the lives of New Zealanders," Luxon said.
"Kids are more focused on learning after we banned phones in schools, farmers and tradies finally have tax relief after we got rid of the Ute Tax, and hospital emergency departments saw a reduction in violence after we added more security."
Luxon conceded there is "always more to do", so now his Government's 100-day deadline has passed, he is moving ahead with this next action plan.
"Having a clear plan with specific actions and timeframes for delivery creates momentum and drives focus."
The plan includes several commitments such as delivering a budget that "reduces wasteful spending while investing in frontline services".
Tax relief is also included in the plan along with setting targets for improving public services such as health and education.
Luxon is also promising to launch an Attendance Action Plan to get kids back to school, restore the Three Strikes law and establish a Regional Infrastructure Fund to boost economic growth in our regions.
The plan also includes a commitment to reform the Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act (CCCFA) to "make it easier for home-buyers to access credit and introduce legislation to improve the rental market".
Luxon said much of the plan is focused on the economy with emphasis on investment and removing "red tape".
"Much of the action plan is focused on rebuilding the economy - like measures to increase investment in renewable electricity, and RMA reform to cut red tape on farmers," he said.
"It is only through a strong economy we can reduce the cost of living, lift incomes and afford the public services Kiwis deserve.
"New Zealanders expect and deserve delivery from their government, and that is exactly what they are getting from us."
Commitments in the Luxon's latest action plan include:
- Deliver a budget that reduces wasteful spending while investing in frontline services
- Deliver tax relief to hardworking New Zealanders
- Set targets for improving public services, like education and health
- Launch an Attendance Action Plan to get kids back to school
- Restore Three Strikes to hold serious, repeat offenders to account
- Establish a Regional Infrastructure Fund to boost economic growth in our regions
- Reform the CCCFA regime to make it easier for home-buyers to access credit, and introduce legislation to improve the rental market.
