Prime Minister Rules Out a Wealth Tax and Lawyers for Climate Action in the High Court w/ Green Party Co-Leader James Shaw: July 19, 2023

Last week Prime Minister Chris Hipkins firmly ruled out implementing a wealth and capital gains tax if they were re-elected, despite current polls showing that Labour will need the support of the Green Party if they wish to form government. 

To discuss this decision by the Prime Minister, as well as a discussion about the ruling out of the High Court last week that found that the government must reconsider the decisions they have made on the settings of the Emissions Trading Scheme, producer Emilia Sullivan spoke to the co-leader of the Green Party, James Shaw.
