Labour leader Chris Hipkins says he wants to wait until nearly June to make any commitments following criticism of his State of the Nation speech from his political opponents.
On Monday, Hipkins promised a different Labour should they be elected in November, but he was offering up no new policy for now.
Criticism came in thick and fast, with ACT leader David Seymour labelling it “featherweight” and National’s deputy leader Nicola Willis describing it as “a lot of words that amount to nothing”.
Hipkins told Morning Report, he’d set out his priorities which were around jobs, health, homes and the cost of living – but would not be announcing policy until Budget Day – May 28th.
