Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is due to speak from the Silverstream Retreat Centre in Lower Hutt just after 11.30am today.
Policy announcement season has begun, with Labour last month proposing a capital gains tax on investment properties as part of its election campaign, following leaks to RNZ.
Luxon’s announcement comes on the same week New Zealand was given the ‘Fossil of the Day’ award at the COP30 global climate summit, for its decision to weaken methane emissions policies.
Earlier, the prime minister declared the soaring prison population to be a “good thing”, characterising it as the price of restoring law and order.
He also conceded the government was running behind on its promise to boost police numbers by 500, despite previously insisting the target would be met by next week.
