Luxon backs delaying Parliament a week

From Morning Report, 7:49 am on 15 February 2023

With the country in a state of national emergency, the first sitting week of Parliament for the year has been postponed.

The House will sit on Tuesday next week.

The only political party opposed to the adjournment of Parliament was ACT, which says there's no logical reason for suspending Parliament.

The National Party endorsed the government's move.

Leader Christopher Luxon spoke to Corin Dann.
