Here's a snapshot of party politics in 2024.
In 2024, New Zealand's news landscape was dominated by several key events, as reported by RNZ. The year began with the devastating impact of Cyclone Gabrielle, which led to widespread flooding and necessitated a significant government response, including a $1 billion recovery package. Political shifts were also prominent, with the National Party's Chris Luxon becoming Prime Minister after a closely contested election, marking a change from Labour's leadership. Internationally, the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the war in Ukraine continued to affect global politics and New Zealand's foreign policy. Domestically, economic challenges such as rising living costs and housing issues remained at the forefront of public discourse. Additionally, the year saw significant cultural moments, including the celebration of Matariki and the controversy surrounding the All Blacks' performance at the Rugby World Cup. These stories, among others, shaped the narrative of 2024 in New Zealand.
