Labour expected to take strong stance on Treaty Bill: Hipkins
SHARE
By Lillian Hanley of RNZ
The Labour Party is currently focusing on key issues that impact working New Zealanders, such as jobs, healthcare, education, and the Treaty Principles Bill, according to leader Chris Hipkins. Taxation has also emerged as a significant concern, with members supporting further investigation into implementing both a capital gains tax and a wealth tax.

The party’s annual conference, held in Christchurch, comes a year after Labour’s election defeat. During the conference, Willie Jackson delivered a passionate speech criticizing the coalition government for promoting division and hate through the Treaty Principles Bill. The Bill, championed by ACT leader David Seymour, aims to incorporate the Treaty of Waitangi principles into legislation.

Hipkins emphasized the importance of addressing current issues facing New Zealand and taking a firm stance on divisive debates. He assured that the party’s focus on these matters does not detract from its commitment to addressing the concerns of working Kiwis.

Finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds also criticized the coalition government’s decisions, highlighting the prioritization of tax breaks for certain industries over essential public services. She vowed to advocate for policies that prioritize the well-being of all New Zealanders.

Tax Policy

At the Labour Party conference, tax policy was a major point of discussion among members. Following a vote, both a wealth tax and a capital gains tax are now under consideration for further development by the policy team. While various amendments were proposed, including focusing on one tax over the other, no definitive decision was reached.

Hipkins emphasized the need for any tax policy changes to align with the party’s overall economic strategy, emphasizing the importance of creating jobs and funding public services.

Despite internal debates, Hipkins underscored the party’s commitment to maintaining a focus on external audiences and ensuring public confidence in the Labour Party’s policies and vision.
