We find Labour’s Trade spokesman at the Red Meat Sector Conference in Wellington, where he was part of the Political Debate Panel this morning. We discuss the Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Update and whether there is a spare $18 billion in the coffers to pay for pay equity, write off student loans and pay for three free doctor’s visits. Is he looking forward to having Chloe (16%) as his Minister of Finance? And what does he make of the Opportunity Party’s five bottom lines?
