The Green Party's Maungakiekie candidate Ricardo Menéndez March - number 10 on the Greens' list - has sparked fresh speculation a wealth tax would be an important part of negotiations between Labour and Greens.
"The great thing about [Government] negotiations is that it's not up to a single person to 'rule out' a wealth tax, guaranteed minimum income or better protections for our oceans," he said on Twitter. "It's up to the voters whether to give us [the Greens] the mandate to take these issues to the negotiating table."
