from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

The Prime Minister's blasting the Greens' wealth tax, saying it would make Kiwis poorer and drive away investment.

Chris Luxon says National's focused on growing the economy, while Labour has an 18-billion-dollar hole in its plans. He told Mike Hosking that Labour would have to cover it through higher taxes or more debt, while their partner is coming out with financial lunacy.
