Ex-pat and mother-to-be Daisy Scott can't vote in this year's election but if she could, she would tick Labour based on the party's childcare policy announced this week.
Labour wants to give every family, earning up to $150,000, with a newborn $60 a week for up to three years to cover expenses.
Mrs Scott, who recently arrived in Rotorua from Perth with her husband, Pete, said the policy would win her vote.
"I would support it as long as it doesn't become an incentive for young mothers to keep having babies.
"Sixty dollars won't go that far but every little cent counts when you have a newborn baby to care for," she said. "It is definitely an incentive to vote Labour if you are going to have an extra $60 a week. We spend everything we earn at the moment with a new baby on the way and we will expect to tighten our belts when it arrives."
