Labour Leader Chris Hipkins says the government's new electricity announcement is "throwing more money down empty holes". 

Hipkins also shared his thoughts with Nick Mills on Wellington Morningon the lack of bi-partisan support from the National government, after the leak of Luxon's letter. He discussed how Labour were not informed of any of the announcements today, and says this shows that they are not open to working together on big issues.  

In his monthly catch up with Nick Mills Wellington Mornings, Hipkins also talked about the new earthquake prone building rules, the decision on Palestinian state, and Trump's new plan for Gaza and if the UN is fit for purpose.
