Chris Hipkins: Labour leader hits out at the opposition's Budget release
No praise from opposition leader Chris Hipkins, who claims this budget will only take New Zealand backwards.
The Labour Party has unleashed a torrent of criticism over the Government's spending plans, including a lack of new cancer drugs, climate funding, and initiatives for Māori.
Chris Hipkins says this Budget is a 'missed opportunity' to provide meaningful relief to struggling Kiwis.
"The tax cuts that are being delivered for, say, someone on a minimum wage would be less than what they would have got if the Government had increased the minimum wage by the rate of inflation."
