Labour has released its much-anticipated fiscal plan laying out the costs of its election promises, calling it responsible, balanced and credible.
The party's finance spokesperson Grant Robertson acknowledges the next few Budgets will be tight, but says there is room for a limited number of new commitments, like removing GST off fruit and vegetables and free dental care for those under 30.
Its numbers have been checked and confirmed by Infometrics' Principal Economist, Brad Olsen.
The National Party will also release its fiscal plan later this week.
RNZ Deputy Political Editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Charlotte Cook.
