Auckland's Town Hall was packed with supporters in red garb yesterday.
As NBR political editor Rob Hosking pointed out, they "gave Jacinda Ardern a rousing reception."
With Labour's election prospects looking dire a month ago, Andrew Little's stepping down has revitalised its base.
Delight filled the audience's faces as Ms Ardern "declared herself in favour of nice things, and against not-nice things."
In an election where almost every plot twist has been explored, Labour says it's ready for battle.

Red on red: Let's do this
Packed to the gods
Auntie Helen receives a rock star's welcome
Hugs all round
Afternoon sun illuminates a sea of red
Jacinda parts the red sea
It's a great time to be Jacinda
