The Labour Party's rolling out its heavy guns next Wednesday with party leader Andrew Little heading to town to deliver his State of Tauranga address.

Andrew will talk about his motivations, his vision for New Zealand with specific reference to local issues and Labour Party plans for the region – specifically economic development, housing, health and education.

It's the fifth outing in Andrew's state of the regions series and building on his combined state of the nation address with Greens co-leader Metiria Turei.

The Labour Party is inviting the people of Tauranga to hear Andrew's plan to 'build a better New Zealand where cities and regions thrive and where everyone has a fair shot at the kiwi dream.”

The visit comes a fortnight after Merivale Primary principal Jan Tinneti won the party's candidacy for the Tauranga electorate in the September general election.

Andrew's State of Tauranga address will be delivered at the Cornerstone Pub, 55 The Strand. For more information go to nzlp.nz/stateoftauranga.
