Show Notes

Chris Hipkins is determined to laugh off the resignation of Police Minister Stuart Nash.

Nash has been forced to resign, after revealing on yesterday's Mike Hosking Breakfast, that two years ago he asked the Police Commissioner to appeal a judge's sentencing.

The Prime Minister joked about the news during a speech to kiwifruit growers last night saying a "minor reshuffle" is coming, but he'd rather not mention the reason why.

But this morning, Act Leader David Seymour told Tim Dower there was nothing funny about Nash's actions.

He says the right way for politicians to address concerns about a sentencing is to pass laws that require tougher sentences.
