Southland will see the creation of at least 60 new jobs, part of the "Action on the ground" projects in the region. Ardern took the stage at Te Papa today to the cheers of more than 500 Labour Party members, and mapped out Labour's term in Government so far and its economic recovery plan. Five principles underpinned the economic recovery: people, jobs, preparing for the future, supporting small businesses and job creators, and positioning New Zealand globally.
