Labour Still Yet To Officially Rule Out Forming Government With National
THE PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS.
No one likes to keep the New Zealand public guessing like Chris Chippy Hipkins.
After ruling out working with New Zealand First’s Winston Peters, and with Election Day drawing close, Hipkins still hasn’t publicly ruled out working with National.

The 28 year-old swanned into the lunchroom and asked some of her sport-oriented colleagues, “What’s ‘UpTheWahs’?” looking at her phone and seeing that the “One NZ” that was normally in the top left of her screen had been replaced by the very well-known Warriors slogan.
