Angie Warren-Clark Labour MP

Thank you for being in touch with my team in 2022. It's been a big year, together we've achieved so much! Just a few highlights for me include reducing cost of living pressures, banning more single-use plastics, delivering pay equity for social workers, improving victim support and family harm prevention, increasing dental grants to $1000/year and expanding eligibility to support more people.

We celebrated our Warmer Kiwi Homes programme's 100,000 insulations milestone since its launch, including 8532 houses in the BOP We've made huge investments to address the housing crisis through our Infrastructure Acceleration Fund, which is expected to enable more than 30,000 new homes across Aotearoa.

There are 2580 more homes enabled in Ōmokoroa thanks to $38.4m funding into transport and 2000 more homes in Tauriko West thanks to $80m into transport and three waters.

There's no doubt there's still work to do, with 2023 looking to be another huge year working towards better outcomes for New Zealanders.

For now, let's relax for the festive season and enjoy spending more quality time than money.
