Acknowledging National Achievements

The Prime Minister makes it a point to recognize New Zealand's recent sporting successes, emphasizing the importance of connecting with the public through media. During a Cabinet press conference, he noted the excitement around athletes like Liam Lawson, despite recognizing that journalists would not cover such topics. He believes acknowledging these moments fosters a sense of national pride and draws attention to the government’s work on significant projects like the Hawke’s Bay Expressway, which will be completed ahead of schedule. This approach indicates his intention to balance political responsibilities with the need to celebrate collective achievements in sports.
