Hipkins rules out New Zealand First, narrowing Labour's coalition path to Greens and Te Pāti Māori

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has officially ruled out working with New Zealand First in any government he leads. The announcement followed a Taxpayers' Union Curia poll showing Labour down 3.7 points to 27.8 percent, its lowest in that series. The decision leaves the Greens and Te Pāti Māori as Labour's only potential coalition partners.
