We are in a transformational time, with our can-do attitude, entrepreneurial talent, leadership and innovation, growing jobs, and bringing our people with us. As the local MP for Hastings Tukituki electorate, I would like to report that our city and district is absolutely going for it. Hastings is becoming an absolute success story of the region. We are the engine room for Hawke's Bay, and we were once called "The fruit bowl of New Zealand"; now we're called "The food capital of this country". And we are celebrating our success; working hard and building on our strengths. Record investment into local industry; leading locally and exporting to the world.
