Political party policies

This is where you can find summaries of all party election policies for the September 23, 2017  election. All policy summaries use the wording of the parties who developed them. The key points have been extracted and linked to the original online policy documents.

Only parties currently in Parliament are indexed in this service. To be included, the policy must be available on the Party website. We only link to individual Party policy, and not to Government or coalition policies.

Please email julia.wiener@interest.co.nz with any updates, corrections or feedback.

These pages are a summary, and are not intended to be a full version of any policy position. Each summary includes a link to the full, official policy page.

Thanks, this is a great compilation of policies.
With the election promises soon changing at a 'rapid' pace it would be very useful if there was a date on each of the pages telling us when data is updated.

Let's start by getting the Electoral Commission and/or their ad agency to spell the word 'summary' properly. Whats does the word 'summay' mean?
