Judith Collins wants Andrew Falloon to resign today

From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 21 July 2020

There are big questions for National's new leader today, following revelations outgoing MP Andrew Falloon sent an indecent picture to a 19-year-old woman.

Falloon announced yesterday that he would not be standing again at the election, citing mental health problems. In a statement yesterday, she said she'd been advised of a issue relating to Falloon, and that he was suffering from significant mental health problems.

It was revealed late yesterday afternoon that the "issue" involved him sending an indecent picture to a young woman. Police investigated but determined it did not meet the threshold for prosecution.
