from Canterbury Mornings with John MacDonald · host Newstalk ZB
Opposition Leader Chris Hipkins says if Labour wins power at this year’s election, it's position on public funding for the Christ Church Cathedral will not change. Speaking to Canterbury Mornings, Hipkins said the party’s verdict still stands. “I just don’t think it’s something we can prioritise at the moment,” Hipkins also addressed leaks from a Labour Party online Q&A, which included Aysha Verrall singing, Barbara Edmonds’ “duckface” comment, and Greg O’Connor’s criticism of the Fourth Labour Government. They also discussed Hipkins thoughts on the incoming 2% rise in MPs’ pay. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
