Thomas Coughlan: NZ Herald political editor on Labour finally clarifying that they don't support Te Pāti Māori’s policy for NZ Super - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Labour has clarified it does not support Te Pāti Māori’s policy for Māori to receive New Zealand Superannuation seven to 10 years before everyone else.

Labour’s finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds declined the opportunity to shoot down the idea when first asked to share her view - but the party has since confirmed their stance.

NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan says Labour's initial hesitancy in clarifying their stance here doesn't paint a good picture of the party's future.
