National Party leader Christopher Luxon had his media conference derailed by a heckler from the Freedoms New Zealand party this afternoon. The man was hanging over a fence behind where Mr Luxon was due to speak to gathered media.

Christopher Luxon then moved his media conference inside.

Once inside, Christopher Luxon told reporters he does spend time with New Zealanders from all backgrounds.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins had a visit to Otara market derailed by members of the same party, which is led by Brian Tamaki and Sue Grey.
