Labour's Carmel Sepuloni

For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party Caeden spoke to Labour Party spokesperson for Education and Women Jan Tinetti. They asked about Winston Peter’s comments comparing co-governance with Nazi Germany, the response to the Freyberg High School students performing a haka against David Seymour, and Grant Robertson’s valedictory speech yesterday. 

This week for our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Caeden speaks to Jan Tinetti, Labour spokesperson for Education and Women. 

They ask about the dropping of the free lunches in schools programme, and Tinetti’s recent criticism of the Government announcing removals of health education guidelines in schools.

For this week's weekly catch-up Caeden asked Minister Andrew Little about Labour's fair pay announcement for the defense force.

They also ask about an RNZ article claiming MBIE has expanded their intelligence wing, and where this government's fear around mass migration has come from.

They also, perhaps regrettably, ask about a TikTok the Minister made with Prime Minister Chris Hipkins.

This week for our regular catch-up and current focus on local economy coverage Caeden asks Minister Andrew Little about Labour’s plans to combat the cost of living crisis, especially in the context of the GST off fruits and vegetable announcements and calls for tax reform.

Caeden also asked about the recent open letter calling to scrap the acceptable standards of health criteria for visa applications, and the criticism of our immigration system being discriminatory and colonial.

They started by asking the Minister to talk about Labour’s policies to combat the cost of living crisis.
