“With the economy recovering, exports at a record high and a new planning system on the way, New Zealand is in safe hands under a National Government.
“I’m looking forward to supporting Christopher Luxon and National MPs and candidates around NZ to campaign for and win the party vote at next year’s general election.”
O’Connor has said he intends to continue his political career, but will not challenge Labour colleague Barbara Edmonds.
