Labour leader David Shearer starts a series of regional visits on Tuesday when he goes to Christchurch.

Mr Shearer, chosen by the Labour caucus to replace Phil Goff after the November 26 election defeat, will have visited most parts of the country by the time Parliament resumes on February 7.

He said after he became leader that he wanted to listen to voters and learn what Labour needed to do to win the next election in 2014.

In Christchurch Mr Shearer will meet residents and city officials to discuss the challenges they face with earthquake reconstruction.

Labour's 34 MPs will hold an all day caucus meeting in Taupo next Wednesday to discuss strategy for the next session of Parliament.

Easy. Labour needs to be more like National. Less welfare and more focus on success.

Its time Labour started to practice politics at the complete polar opposite of where National is. Call on National to be accountable for their use of petty descrimination to pass laws. Call on them to explain why they repeatedly and continuosly breach the New Zealand Bill of Rights. They could even look at promoting a permanent constitution that politicians like John Key cant get around to pass laws. Call National on their class elitism, and bring an end to this crap rhetoric we are getting from the National party on trickle down economics... an economic theory that has been proven around the world to be nothing more than a fairy tale dreamt up by the rich to get more money and not pass it on. The only thing we have gotten from Jon Key in the last 3 years other than repeated lies... is crap rhetoric and open descrimination against minority groups.
