More disinformation from Labour
Newshub reports:
Labour says an Instagram post claiming a National-ACT coalition would reintroduce interest to student loans if elected was a mistake.
The incumbent governing party has been accused of disinformation after several recent social media posts raised eyebrows.
“A National/ACT coalition will not only cut fees free for first-year students, but they will also add interest back on ALL current student loans,” one post said, despite the Nat’s last week saying it would keep fees-free if elected.
Another post depicted a news story about military-style guns (MSSAs) being “back” if ACT was in Government. The report, however, was the headline of a press release by Labour itself.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins on Thursday flat-out denied his social media team was spreading disinformation about other parties’ policies.
He can deny it, but it is happening. More desperation.
