Labour leader Chris Hipkins on rebuilding the party

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 8 November 2023

Just one month ago, the Labour Party had dismissed introducing a wealth or capital gains tax after a captain's call from leader, Chris Hipkins.

In July, Hipkins put out a statement drawing a line under speculation, saying under a Government he leads there will be no wealth or capital gains tax.

But after a big election defeat, he now says nothing is off the table.

The Labour Party caucus voted to keep Chris Hipkins as leader.

Hipkins spoke to Susie Ferguson.
