Labour Leader Chris Hipkins in the studio

from Wellington Mornings with Nick Mills · host Newstalk ZB

Labour leader Chris Hipkins joins Nick Mills in the studio for his monthly catch up. The Labour party is polling well, 7 points above National, but how long will this last without major policy announcements. Nick asks when we will see more, and what should we expect from the party this year? Nicola Willis suggests that Barbara Edmonds has told agency Fitch one thing and the public another in terms of revenue gathering. Hipkins shares Labour's plans, and talks tax and interest deductions. Also on the agenda is the Maiki Sherman saga and the alcohol culture in the beehive - is it acceptable? And what does Hipkins think of bailing on scheduled media slots?  LISTEN ABOVE OR WATCH BELOW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
