National Party campaign chief Simeon Brown is on the defence - and says there's an issue of credibility impacting Chris Hipkins and Labour. 

"They've done it before, they've got a track record of saying one thing and then bringing in more taxes - and that was at a time when they won the election with a Labour-majority Government."
