    The Prime Minster says he's proud of the India Free Trade Agreement and isn't phased by Labour's raised red flags

    The Prime Minster says he's proud of the India Free Trade Agreement and isn't phased by Labour's raised red flags


    Opposition leader Chris Hipkins says they want the un-redacted advice about the deal and greater protection for migrant workers - to get Labour's support.

    He also wants clarity about the clause requiring New Zealand business to invest 33-billion dollars into India.

    Chris Luxon says the letter's just politicking and it's an awesome deal.

    He says they'll work through their concerns - but it's frustrating when other parties don't get on board with growth.
