Labour Leader Chris Hipkins joins Nick Mills in the studio, on the eve of one of the biggest days in the political year: Budget Day.

With the budget looming, Nick asks if we can finally expect policy from Labour for this coming election.

Hipkins shares his predictions for the budget, Labour's priorities and his thoughts on the pre-budget announcements so far. 

With the 8700 jobs cut announcement, we find out if Labour would reinstate some of these and what difference he thinks AI can make in the public sector.

Hipkins says Labour will look into regulation and the future of AI, and he wants to focus on growing productivity of employees, not replacing them. 

Also, does Hipkins think that New Zealand is ready to trust a Labour government and he gives his thoughts on the leaked "duck faced horse" audio from the Labour conference.
