Yes

The New Zealand Labour Party has not explicitly endorsed a universal basic income program, but they have shown interest in exploring the idea. In 2016, then-finance spokesperson Grant Robertson mentioned the possibility of a UBI as part of a future of work project, but it has not become a central policy.

Yes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing

The Labour Party's focus on social welfare and reducing inequality aligns with the idea of providing an income to cover basic necessities.

No

Disagree

No, this will encourage people not to work and harm economic growth

The New Zealand Labour Party is generally more focused on social welfare and reducing inequality, so they are less likely to agree with the idea that a universal basic income would encourage people not to work and harm economic growth. However, they have not taken a strong stance on the issue, so their disagreement with this statement is not absolute.
