Chris Hipkins: Labour leader on the party confirming it plans to support the India FTA
Published 1 day, 14 hours ago
Description
Labour's leader is doubling down on his concern about the India-New Zealand free trade agreement's $33 billion Kiwi investment target.
The party's finally agreed to support the FTA, but is warning businesses to proceed at their own risk.
Chris Hipkins says the multi-billion-dollar target is unrealistic.
He says down the line, it could affect businesses that redirect exports to India.
"You've redirected product where you've developed a market - you could find that the constraints that have stopped you doing that until now are suddenly reimposed."
