Labour strikes back against Luxon's State of the Nation speech

Описание: In this episode of Pacific Mornings, William Terite speaks with Labour Deputy Leader Carmel Sepuloni as the 2026 election year begins. Sepuloni offers a sharp critique of the current government’s record, citing record-high business closures and a "brain drain" of Kiwis moving overseas as evidence of a "loss of hope" across Aotearoa. She outlines Labour's vision for a "bold alternative," highlighting key policies like free GP visits and the New Zealand Future Fund to drive local investment. Central to the discussion is Labour’s commitment to the Pacific community; Sepuloni emphasizes that the party will never take the Pacific vote for granted, pointing to their diverse caucus and deep community roots as the foundation for winning back voters in 2026.
