A phone call with a mate has ended Stuart Nash's second turn as Police Minister.
The problem is, that mate was Police Commissioner Andrew Coster. An error of judgement - is how the Prime Minister's described the call, after Nash criticised a court judgement, and admitted asking the Police Commissioner if he was going to appeal that judgement.
That's a breach of the Cabinet Manual. The Opposition says Nash should be gone as a minister altogether.
Political reporter Giles Dexter has more.
