Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says her party will fight tooth and nail for its tax plan as Labour rules out new taxes beyond its capital gains tax. 

Labour is vowing not to support tax changes proposed by potential coalition partners Te Pāti Māori, the Greens, and Opportunity. 

Swarbrick told Kerre Woodham she wants collaboration because she says it's clear there does need to be tax reform. 

She says people are sick of political tit-for-tat, and her party doesn’t agree with tinkering around the edges. 

But Labour leader Chris Hipkins isn’t budging, telling Woodham there needs to be a public mandate for major changes. 

He says parties are free to advocate for things they were elected on, but if there's no public support for that then the status quo prevails.
