"Really concerning" Hipkins on Marokopa inquiry findings
Labour Party Leader Chris Hipkins says the findings of the Marokopa inquiry are concerning, with the report concluding that missed opportunities may have delayed efforts to protect the children and bring them home sooner.
Speaking to Canterbury Mornings, Hipkins admitted he had not yet read the report in full, but acknowledged there is clearly room for improvement across all government agencies involved.
"There were clearly some things there that got missed, and that's really concerning".
Hipkins served as Minister of Police from June 2022 until becoming Prime Minister in January 2023.
He also discussed ACT's proposal to lower the training wage, the latest poll results showing both Labour and National sitting in the 20 percent range, and Labours latest policy to make price gouging illegal.
