CARMEL SEPULONI
from Yours Politically - Sanjesh Narain Hosted by Tarana
Labour’s Carmel Sepuloni says supporters want change, rules out working with NZ First Labour Party deputy leader Carmel Sepuloni says the party is getting “good vibes” from its supporters and undecided voters, with many telling Labour they want the current Government out. Speaking to Radio Tarana host Sanjesh Narain, Sepuloni said Labour was hearing growing support from voters who were looking for a change in Government. She also reiterated that Labour would not work with NZ First after the next election, citing what she described as repeated racial remarks by the party’s leader and members. Sepuloni said Labour had made its position clear and did not see NZ First as a potential coalition partner. The Labour deputy leader also expressed sadness over reports that party leader Chris Hipkins had been threatened by a member of the public. Sepuloni said she had personally experienced racial abuse, particularly through her social media platforms. She said such comments were distressing, but she remained focused on representing her communities and campaigning for Labour. Sepuloni’s comments come as political parties step up their campaigning and seek to win over undecided voters ahead of the election.
