Labour leader Chris Hipkins’ ex-wife has made a series of allegations about his conduct, suggesting they contradict the party’s electioneering on “health, houses and jobs”.
Hipkins has rejected the allegations from his ex-wife Jade, which were posted to a private Facebook page but have since been taken down.
None of the allegations involve Hipkins engaging in unlawful activity.
In a statement, Hipkins said: “I reject the allegations entirely and don’t intend to make any further comment.”

Hipkins has two children with Jade. The pair were together for years before marrying in 2020 in a ceremony at Premier House. They separated in 2022.
The Herald understands Hipkins is seeking legal advice about the social media post.
