Labour's leader thinks talk of potential coalitions is premature.

New Zealand First leader and veteran politician Winston Peters has ruled out working with Labour post next election if Chris Hipkins is still in charge.

Peters has described a potential trio of Labour, the Greens, and Te Pati Māori as a 'woke circus'.

Chris Hipkins says Labour will set out bottom lines before the election.

He's taken the chance to take a swipe at the Coalition.

"We're not just going to allow the smaller parties to call all the shots in the way that Christopher Luxon and the National Party currently are doing."
