Chris Hipkins has given a seething speech in the House, slamming the Government's unwinding Labour's smokefree laws.
The legislation had restricted retailers who can sell cigarettes, and banned people born after 2008 from buying them.
A Bill scrapping the moves is now in its first reading.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says he's never seen behaviour like that from an MP.
