Labour's Hipkins warns of national crisis from 2,000 weekly emigrants, pledges cost-of-living focus and no new tolls or LNG terminal.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins delivered a State of the Nation speech in Auckland, emphasizing affordability and realistic expectations for a future Labour government, acknowledging past failures and pledging to prioritize the cost of living, job creation, and investment in people.
He opposed tolls on the Auckland Harbour Bridge and a proposed LNG terminal, reaffirmed support for three free GP visits funded by a capital gains tax, and expressed concern over the weekly departure of 2,000 New Zealanders, calling it a national failure.
While no new policies were announced, Hipkins framed the election as a choice between reactive governance and sustainable reform, despite criticism over lack of detailed plans.
