A Labour Minister is coming to the defence of the Prime Minister, on unemployment stats.

Chris Hipkins told the House yesterday the country had record-level unemployment, despite unemployment being higher than the previous quarter.

Labour's Megan Woods told Mike Hosking the PM was making a point about how more people have jobs.

She says unemployment is low.

Woods also suggested National were more in the wrong, and that deputy Nicola Willis should carry a cleaning kit with her to sweep up Luxon's mistakes.

National's Mark Mitchell says the PM was incorrect and was not giving the right information.
