‘Labour MP and Wellington Central candidate Ibrahim Omer told a candidate’s debate on Sunday that Labour “had not given up” on the idea of a Wealth Tax, despite leader Chris Hipkins ruling it out for as long as he is leader.
In a video obtained by the Herald, Omer responds to an audience question about whether Labour supported the wealth tax by saying that while Hipkins back-tracked on the tax, it the party was still discussing it.
Omer said he understood Hipkins’ decision but said that neither he nor the party had given up on the idea.
“I think there is going to be a time for that. Labour Party has not given up on that,” Omer said.’
