He said that a lot is at stake in this election. When I return I will work twice as hard to ensure that the Labor Party is re-elected. Opinion polls show Labour’s support for former businessman Christopher Luxon’s centre-right National Party is slipping as it looks to form a coalition government with smaller parties.
Hipkins’ COVID-19 test came as his party released its manifesto. In the manifesto, he has announced free dentist care for those under 30, more front-line police and four weeks of paid parental leave. Let us tell you that New Zealand lifted its last COVID-19 restrictions in August, but health officials still advise people to stay at home for 5 days if they are unwell or have been tested positive.
