Chris Hipkins: Labour Leader on Iran strikes, GP costs, and bootcamps restarting

from Canterbury Mornings with John MacDonald · host Newstalk ZB

Labour Leader Chris Hipkins believes that the strikes on Iran from the US and Israel were illegal, and the Government needs to be clearer on its position. Speaking to John MacDonald, The Leader of the Opposition said he thinks a regime change is required in Iran, but legal avenues should've been considered. "It needs to be in adherence with international law, which this is not." If you're talking about a regime change, you need to have a plan to affect that" On the news that the Governments bootcamps for young offenders are restarting, Hipkins says he does not support them. "The first one was an abject failure, all of the evidence suggests they don't work." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
