Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has unloaded on his opposite number Labour leader Chris Hipkins for having no substantive policy to support people struggling with the cost of living.
“They put us in this mess – I’m not taking any lectures from frickin’ Chris Hipkins and the Labour Party on not supporting low and middle income New Zealanders because that is what this government is doing,” Luxon said.
It comes as Finance Minister Nicola Willis rounded on Labour’s finance spokeswoman Barbara Edmonds for not being able to name a single policy Labour had to help with the cost of living, despite convening a media stand-up to attack the government for continued high inflation.
