James Shaw: Greens Co-Leader says the party could demand wealth tax, capital gains tax as part of post-election negotiations

James Shaw says whether New Zealand gets a capital gains tax or wealth tax is ultimately a matter for voters. Chris Hipkins has ruled out either form of tax while he's prime minister. But Greens Co-Leader James Shaw says his party could demand those taxes, as part of any post-election negotiations on Coalition or Confidence and Supply arrangements. He told Mike Hosking the election outcome should determine the policies of the next government. Shaw says democracy should be allowed to do its job, with voters deciding on the make-up of the next government, before policy detail is finalised.
