	Description:		After a two year policy vacuum, Labour has debuted its second policy in just two days - surprising everyone - including its own leader. The whoopsie comes as Chris Hipkins defends the party's big Future Fund plan against critics lamenting a lack of detail. The Fund - which would invest in New Zealand businesses and infrastructure - would be seeded with 200 million dollars and the dividends of some Crown assets. But the party has not revealed which assets - or how large their dividends would be - nor has it explained how it would replace those dividends which currently go towards areas, like health and education. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.
