A Labour frontbencher says a Labour government will not introduce any new taxes, except for a capital gains tax, if it wins the election. 

Leader Chris Hipkins on Monday ruled out other taxes, such as a streaming tax or tax on high-emissions vehicles.

She says tax policies of the Greens, Opportunity, or Te Pāti Māori will not see the light of day.
