Quote of the article from Hipkins:
"We've had a series of governments now who have encouraged people to be aspirational for New Zealand and have promised things that have been completely unrealistic. I don't think we can afford to do that anymore. I think people will lose faith in a whole democratic system if we see politicians continuing to do that, I'm not going to fall into that trap."
Looks like he’s highly critical of Jacinda’s aspirational leadership and acknowledging it was hugely divisive, a complete failure and harmful to democracy.
