7:40 am on 16 April 2018

The National Party is hoping to hold on to Northcote in July's by-election, which they won by more than 6000 votes last year.

Yesterday Dan Bidois was chosen as National's candidate.

The Auckland seat became vacant after Jonathan Coleman left Parliament to take up a job heading a private health provider.

Meanwhile on the Syria air strikes, the National Party says it supports Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's condemnation of chemical warfare.

Its leader, Simon Bridges, joins us live in the studio to discuss.
