Chris Hipkins says he's not worried by his party's showing in Tuesday night's 1News poll, showing his party down 5 points at 30 percent. 

Speaking to Canterbury Mornings, the Leader of the Opposition said polls bounce around, but he's confident in the trends he sees in Labour's internal polling, showing them sitting in the "high thirties". 

"I never get particularly obsessed about one individual poll, but you do look at the trends of polls, and trends have been showing Labour's support" 

Hipkins was also asked his thoughts on the Opportunity Party's continued rise, what Labour knew about the failed $32 million Immigration NZ IT project, and his thoughts on the New Zealand Initiatives' report on ACC.
