Merry Christmas and a triumphant New Year to our beloved nation! As we celebrate, let us focus on a radiant future for all.

Let us usher in the New Year with the changes our nation deserves. Changes fuelled with hopes and commitment for a more prosperous and equitable society. Changes that will guide our children towards a brighter future.

As Opposition, we are committed to shared visions for positive change. We are committed to a greener, more sustainable tomorrow with 100 per cent renewable green energy. We pledge to counter inflation and alleviate the high cost of living, especially in the Pa Enua, championing the well-being of our valued mamas, papas, and the most vulnerable. Together, we will insist that resources are redirected away from ballooning ministerial portfolios and invested in education.

In 2024, we will continue to initiate private member bills and bring to the fore substantive economic and social issues overlooked by the current Government.

Amidst the merriment, let’s also reflect on governance. Let us continue to question the Government’s choices, demand accountability of them, and together we demand a stop to wasteful practices.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday and a future filled with promise and renewal!

• Opposition Leader Tina Browne of the Democratic Party
