This week’s 1-on-1 in 10 features Chris Hipkins, Leader of the Labour Party, in a wide-ranging interview that pulls no punches. From Labour’s targeted capital gains tax to the Kelston Boys High School charter takeover, Hipkins goes deep on what’s at stake for public education, middle New Zealand, and our social contract. Martyn Bradbury and Hipkins unpack:
- Why the backlash to capital gains reveals who really holds the power
- How Labour would respond to mental health, meth, and rising inequality
- The disturbing redacted details behind Kelston Boys’ hostile charter bid
- What’s next for Māori-Crown relations under a National-led government
- This is a fiery defence of egalitarianism, state services, and democracy itself.
