Labour's cost of living package dubbed miserly by National

From Morning Report, 6:44 am on 14 August 2023

National's Finance spokesperson Nicola Willis has criticised Labour's tax policy package as miserly.

If elected Labour would remove GST from fruit and vegetables, as well as increasing the In-Work tax credit to $25 a week for those eligible for Working for Families.

The Working for Families abatement level will rise to $50,000 a year, leaving working families better off by at least $47 a week, but not until 2026.

Willis spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
