'Take your pick': Labour's Kieran McAnulty highlights concerns with National ahead of campaign launch

The election race has gotten into full swing, with both parties set to hold their campaign launches today.

Labour's event in South Auckland is set to take place this afternoon, and it's likely some new policies will be unveiled ahead of the election.

Labour's campaign chair Kieran McAnulty says Chris Luxon is out of touch with the average New Zealander, and they'll be calling out the Government's broken promises.

"We're gonna be targeting the fact that unemployment is up and that homelessness is at the highest level it's ever been and that for 70 percent of New Zealanders last year, their wages did not keep up with the cost of living. So take your pick."
