The Government and Opposition have butted heads on the first day in Parliament.

The Prime Minister boasted of the Government plans to boost economic growth - while Labour slammed its achievements and pointed to record departures from the country.

Chris Luxon is calling it 'the party of no' - which said no to tax relief, gene technology, and backing farmers.

Later, opposition leader Chris Hipkins claimed Luxon was in favour of saying no to delivering new ferries, a new Dunedin hospital, and affordable water reform.

Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls says Chris Luxon fired back at Hipkins' outfit choices and lack of organisation.
