David Seymour: Deputy Prime Minister on Labour's hesitance to support the India Free Trade Agreement

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

Labour's support for an India Free Trade Agreement remains tentative as it digs through the details.   Leader Chris Hipkins has written to Trade Minister Todd McClay concerned the deal's contents don't line up with the version he's presented.   Hipkins is warning it would be recklessly irresponsible for McClay to sign onto it without majority backing across Parliament.   But Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour told Mike Hosking Labour needs to look at the broader benefits to exporters.   He says the Government has a sea of red ink stretching out for decades looking at Treasury's accounts.   Seymour says Labour needs to man up and put the best interests of the country at heart.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
