新西兰优先党承诺最低工资至少随通胀上调 并提高Working for Families补助
2026年10月10日，新西兰优先党在大选竞选中公布收入政策：承诺将最低工资的年度涨幅至少与通胀率挂钩，并永久性提高Working for Families家庭税收抵免。据RNZ当日选举直播与多家媒体报道，党领袖温斯顿·彼得斯在竞选行程中公布了上述主张；工党领袖克里斯·希普金斯同日在竞选活动中批评政府削减对外援助的计划。
Working for Families是新西兰面向中低收入在职家庭的主要补助制度，以税收抵免形式按子女人数与家庭收入发放。最低工资与家庭补助同属生活成本议题，是本届选战各党竞相表态的领域；执政联盟与工党阵营此前均已公布各自的收入与税制主张。
新西兰优先党在现国会中是执政联盟成员，但在本次竞选中就移民、经济管理与国家认同等议题与国家党保持距离、单独造势。民调显示该党支持率处于可能左右组阁结果的区间，彼得斯已排除与工党联合执政的可能。
大选定于11月7日举行。海外投票10月21日开始、提前投票10月26日开放，各党收入政策的细节与财政测算将在选前数周继续接受媒体与财政专家的核查。
NZ First Pledges Minimum Wage Rises at Least With Inflation and Higher Working for Families Payments
New Zealand First used the election campaign on 10 October 2026 to announce income policies: the minimum wage would rise each year by at least the rate of inflation, and Working for Families payments would be permanently increased. RNZ's election live coverage and other outlets reported party leader Winston Peters campaigning on the pledges that day, while Labour leader Chris Hipkins used his own campaigning to speak against foreign aid cuts.
Working for Families is New Zealand's main support scheme for low- and middle-income working families, delivered as tax credits based on the number of children and household income. The minimum wage and family payments sit inside the cost-of-living debate that every party is contesting at this election; both the governing coalition and Labour have already published their own income and tax positions.
New Zealand First is a member of the current governing coalition but is campaigning separately from National on immigration, economic management and national identity. Polls put the party in the range where it could again shape the formation of a government, and Peters has ruled out a coalition with Labour.
The election is on 7 November, with overseas voting from 21 October and advance voting from 26 October. The detail and costing of each party's income policies will continue to be checked by media and fiscal analysts in the weeks before polling day.
