New Zealand’s space industry is employing thousands of Kiwis. And the more rockets we send into space means even more jobs for Kiwis and a growing economy too. So it was great to catch up with one of the industry’s leaders, Rocket Lab, last night at Parliament.

Our Government has brought back tougher consequences for crime to keep Kiwis safe in their communities. The new Waikeria prison will help to safely manage the rising prison population as well as provide effective rehabilitation to reduce reoffending.
