Labour leader Chris Hipkins has set three conditions for supporting New Zealand’s new free trade agreement with India, demanding stronger migrant worker protections, safeguards for international student programs, and clear justification for a $33 billion private investment target.
He criticized Prime Minister Christopher Luxon for rushing negotiations, undermining internal consensus, and withholding unredacted official advice.
