Q+A: Deputy Labour leader Annette King and Finance spokesperson Grant Robertson interviewed by Corin Dann
Deputy Labour leader Annette King wouldn’t be drawn on the question of whether she would stand in the Rongotai
electorate at the next election.
“I’m not ruling anything in or out. I never have before any election. I consider it and then make a decision, and I
promise you I’ll let you know.”
Annette King also told TV One’s Q+A programme that, “I want to be part of the next Labour government, the sixth Labour
government, and I do want to lead the Health portfolio. I’ve got the experience in it, I’ve got ideas in terms of fixing
what’s wrong with it, and I’ve still got the energy.”
Labour Finance spokesperson Grant Robertson told political editor Corin Dann that, ‘we’ve said before we believe there
is the scope in a fairer tax system for those who earn the most to pay a little bit more. That happens all around the
world.’
‘Look, I think we’ve got to be able to go to New Zealanders in 2017 with a sense of a direction of travel in terms of
tax. And I’m sure there will be some announcements about tax.’
