Jason Walls: ZB Political Editor on Labour Wellington Central candidate Ibrahim Omer claiming the party hasn't given up on wealth tax - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

There's growing speculation that Labour could eventually introduce a wealth tax.

In a leaked video, Labour's Wellington Central candidate Ibrahim Omer tells a meeting that the party hasn't given up on the policy.

Hipkins has pushed back against these claims and plans to discuss Omer's comments with him.

ZB Political Editor Jason Walls says Hipkins has made it clear that he's not introducing a wealth tax- but other Labour candidates are feeling the pressure ahead of the election.
