Pollies: National's Mark Mitchell and Labour's Ginny Andersen on Labour ruling out tax policies from other parties, election campaigning

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

A Labour frontbencher says a Labour government will not introduce any new taxes, except for a capital gains tax, if it wins the election.  Leader Chris Hipkins on Monday ruled out other taxes, such as a streaming tax or tax on high-emissions vehicles.  The party's Jobs and Incomes spokesperson Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking this will be an absolute bottom line in any post-election negotiation.  She says tax policies of the Greens, Opportunity, or Te Pāti Māori will not see the light of day.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
