The Labour Leader has responded to Luxon’s heated comments in response to their jabs about the cost of living. 

The Opposition has criticised the Government’s flagship cost of living policy, raising a red flag over only 153 families getting the maximum credit across all four quarters. 

Luxon says Labour's crying crocodile tears, and that he’s not taking any lectures from "frickin Chris Hipkins" about not supporting working Kiwis. 

Hipkins told John MacDonald that Luxon is focused on attacking other people and blaming everybody else, rather than speaking up in favour of his own government’s track records.  

“Show me the money” is the Opposition’s call over the Government plan for the new Waikato Medical School. 

It'll get $83 million in taxpayer funding and more than $150 million from the university and investors. 

The Labour leader told MacDonald we need to train more doctors, but this could take longer than just increasing intakes at existing medical schools. 

He says the Government should be transparent about this decision. 

Hipkins says Labour won't stop the project if construction's already under way if it gets into Government.
