Christopher Luxon on MP diversity

From Morning Report, 7:43 am on 26 October 2022

For the first time, New Zealand's parliament has more women MPs than men.

Soraya Peke-Mason was sworn in yesterday, replacing the outgoing speaker Trevor Mallard as a Labour list MP.

That makes 60 women MPs, and 59 men. With a by-election up for grabs in Hamilton West in December, the National Party is under pressure to add some diversity to a largely male caucus in parliament.

National Party leader Christopher Luxon spoke to Māni Dunlop.
