Chris Hipkins has refused to tell Kiwis how he’ll pay for his $18.8 billion worth of promises because he doesn’t want you to know how much additional tax you’ll have to pay.
However, he has ruled out borrowing more, which confirms Labour’s spend-up will land directly on taxpayers.
Conveniently for Chris Hipkins, between Labour and its prospective coalition partners in the Greens, Te Pāti Māori and Opportunity there are nine new taxes they want to impose on New Zealanders, which he’ll be able to use to pay for his hidden bill.
John, Labour does not have a credible economic plan. It has an irresponsible, unaffordable shopping list which will be paid for by hitting every New Zealand family with $2,263 a year.
Can you chip in today so we can warn Kiwis?
