Hipkins says Labour may break tax promise

The Herald reports:

The Government is open to raising taxes at the Budget in May to cover the cost of the Cyclone Gabrielle clean-up, potentially reversing a position taken earlier this month to stick to former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s revenue policy.

Their 2020 election policy was clear:

No new taxes, or further increases to income tax next term

Inflation is triple what it should be, families are struggling to cope, and Labour’s looking to break their election promise and decrease your take home pay.
