Campaign launches contrast in style

From Morning Report, 8:17 am on 4 September 2023

It was a tale of two campaign launches over the weekend, as Labour and National jump started their election runs.

National decided against releasing any new policy, instead publishing eight promises should it be elected, including cutting inflation and limiting health wait times.

Political commentators Shane Te Pou and Ben Thomas spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
